Claire and the team at George Pettit were exceptional in their guidance on dealing with our late father's funeral,  we would like to take the opportunity to say a massive thank you for their thorough professionalism at all times.  The support that we received was outstanding, the assistance from Claire, Mark, Jenny and Theresa in addition to the drivers, Mark, Tim and Gary was always incredibly helpful and assisted our family through another difficult period with comfort and empathy.   It has been a sad time as a family, but we are most thankful for all the personal involvement of everyone at George Pettit.

    i would also like to say a big thankyou to rebecca for her skills in organising everything i asked for,

  • 4 Howard Davies 10th Jul 2023

    Overall we were really pleased with the service we received from Claire, Rebecca and Kelly and from the private ambulance team.

    All involved did their best to make sure that the whole process was managed well and with respect.

    One constructive criticism would be that we were a little uncomfortable conducting all our business just inside the front door of Pettits office, especially at such an emotional time. We feel that it would be much more acceptable to have a separate room available.

    Regards
    Howard Davies

    From start to finish Rebecca and Claire could not have done any more to make the whole process of organising my husband Albert's funeral as easy and smooth as possible for us. Communication was excellent, Rebecca kept us informed at every stage. The day itself when it arrived was perfect and Claire and her team were very professional, respectful and compassionate, it was a great send off for Albert. Thank you once again to the whole team, we as a family will always be grateful to you for all your help. Barbara and Family.

  • 5 Teresa Erskine 6th Feb 2023

    Right from the start, absolutely amazing. From collecting Mum at the home where she passed away, so professional. I personally want to say a massive thank you to Claire for the phone calls just checking on me, the kindness and support she has shown me during the last few weeks, especially yesterday. It has been a difficult month for our family, she guided us through the whole process and helped us to make Mums funeral perfect for her.
    Please pass on my sincere thanks to everyone involved.

    Many Thanks Teresa
