Every part of the process was carried out to a high standard. There was nothing that the Funeral Arranger or the Director could have done better.

Professional in every aspect, attention to detail and above and beyond in everything.  Tracy has been fantastic throughout and the same with Kerry at our dad’s service.  A heartfelt personal touch to everything they provided.

    Excellent, professional service from Kerry at Gill and Eales, but with a caring human touch that made a very sad time bearable. 
    Nothing was too much trouble for her and Tracy. 
    I would certainly recommend them. 

  • 5 Brian Roy Stevens 17th May 2022

    At a time when emotions are all over the place and you’re not sure of what to do or where to go next, Gill and Eales helped in every way possible, over and above their regular remit ,the staff guided us through all the procedures and legal requirements needed. All this was done with care, thoughtfulness and patience. 
    A very special touch from the funeral entourage was that they chose  to wear co-ordinated ties to match our late Mothers chosen colour scheme.
    Gill and Eales did our late Mother and family proud.
    Thanks again.
    Brian Stevens and family .
