Andrew Grey and his colleagues were absolutely fantastic Andrew was there every step of the way thank you very much

Caroline Middlemas 2nd Oct 2021

Andrew and his team have been amazing from start to finish. So respectful towards our family during this horrible time. He put us at ease, and we knew our dad was in good, safe and caring hands. On the day of the funeral, we were supported from start to finish. Andrew is a caring, considerate and compassionate family man, and this shone through for our dads final send off, we couldn’t of asked for more if we tried! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Andrea and Ian Thompson 6th Sep 2021

From the initial meeting with Ben the care and service shown to our family has been exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble for Ben and he regularly checked on my mam to make sure everything was as she required. He also selected Mark Black as our celebrant who was an amazing choice and who made us feel like he knew my dad. I can't praise the whole service enough and would definitely recommend Andrew Grey to anyone

    Full marks to Kay for her professionalism and excellent service in helping us all through this difficult time.
    Thanks to you all

  • 5 Ann Mosley 31st Mar 2020

    Having previously enlisted the professional  services of Ben & his team at Andrew Grey for my late Father’s Funeral, I was more than happy to utilise their services again for my late Mother.
    In light of very difficult circumstances due to the current social distancing restrictions they performed a both caring and highly professional service.

    Many thanks again.
    Ann Mosley , Janet Selby and family.

    Andrews services were unfortunately required again but as always provided a totally professional and personal service from start to finish. Kay directed everything from initial details to conducting Mams funeral and helped us all immensely on a very difficult day. Mam was immaculate at the chapel of rest and we feel we gave her the dignified respectful service she deserved. Thank you to all the team from the Renshaw family x
