This was the most awful time in our lives losing Mum and it was made that bit easier by Gilbert’s wonderful service.  From start to finish nothing was too much trouble, they were professional, respectful and Mum looked beautiful in the chapel.   Will is an absolute credit to you, it was the little things, even down to taking a chair out to the flowers for Dad to sit so he could take a look and so that he was able to greet everyone as they came out after the service.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    Could not thank Gemma, Will and the rest of the team enough. We chose g Gilbert’s for my mums funeral back in feb 2022 and then sadly when my dad passed away we knew we was going to Gilbert’s straight away. Anything we asked for was never too much and was carried out always with professional manner, they made such a difficult time for us all so much better the way things were handled was incredible everything ran so smoothly. Would highly recommend.

    So thank you again to the Gilbert’s team. Tonk and Mandy’s family x

  • 5 Zoe Thompson 14th Oct 2022

    We sadly lost our mum and dad within eight months of each other. After using G.Gilberts for our mum, we had no doubt about who we would use for our dad. Gemma and Will are professional yet caring, nothing was too much trouble. Dad had the motorbike hearse to take him on his final journey, which was just perfect, and our mum's last wishes were to be put with her sister at Shepshed cemetry in loughborough, which G.Gilberts arranged for us too. Gemma and Will were able to give us peace of mind that we had fulfilled our parents last wishes, just as they wanted.

  • 5 CARL JOHNSON 6th Sep 2022

    Thank you so very much for the care and support you gave to us.
    Kieren had a wonderful send off. Carl and Natalie.

  • 5 PAT ROGERSON 31st May 2022

    Absolutely fantastic from the first moment we made contact right the way through. Gemma, Will, and the team went above and beyond to make Carols' day very special and a memory to cherish, we couldn't have asked for more even making the special effort to wear pink cravats to be part of the pink tribute we had for Carol.
    Thank you, just thank you!
