Extremely happy with the help and support that was extended to us to guide us through the paper work, manage all the arrangements, and support us with compassion through the whole occasion, truly commendable service. The funeral day went very smoothly, aided by the perfect weather, so we managed to lay our mother to rest with the dignity and care she deserved.

Mark was an absolute god send.

Fiona Roberts 28th Nov 2023

Mark was extremely kind and efficient about the arrangements and help me get the paper work filled in. His colleague who dropped the ashes off on our remote farm was very kind too. I felt they both went to the extra length at a difficult time for us and at the same time, in spite of a lovely customer service, the price was reasonable.

    Mark did a wonderful job at organising my mom's funeral. From the first consultation, he welcomed me and my family with compassion and was very clear and thorough at making sure everything was exactly as we wanted.

  • 5 Mike Nixon 9th May 2023

    As a family we are indebted to Mark, Emma and his team. Our Mum and Dad passed within two months of each other. Our dad passed first, and Mark was there every step of the way providing support, guidance and comfort to the family.

    My dad’s funeral was respectful, dignified and a wonderful celebration of his life. When my mum passed soon after, it was never in question that Mark and his team would again be there for our family.

    My mum’s funeral was wonderful and a joy full celebration of her life. Mark is a consummate professional, his ability to make a very emotional and difficult time easier is testament to his kindness and experience.

    Mark leads a team that are caring, supportive and above all hold a level of compassion that is truly heartfelt. The informality, the relaxed approach and the diligence spoke volumes and provided great comfort to the family.

    Mark and his team delivered what we needed as a family and throughout provided an exceptional service. The personal touch and understanding was exemplary.

    To go the extra mile is ingrained deep within the ethos of Robson & Stevens Independent Funeral Family services, and was evident from the outset, which in turn provided great reassurance when we needed it most.

    As a family we could not have asked for anymore, we, along with Mark and his team gave our parents the absolute best send off and they would have been proud.

    It is not everyday you meet a person so dedicated to the service of others, especially in death, but Mark is that man. Mark and his team are the embodiment of all that is good in this world, and they give this willingly without question.

    Thank you.
