    “Thank you so much for your exceptional service in handling my mother’s funeral. Your professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail made this difficult time more manageable. We truly appreciated your kindness and support throughout the entire process. It meant a lot to our family. Thank you again for everything.”

  • 5 Stephanie Roberts 10th Mar 2025

    With sensitive and consummate professionalism throughout, the team at Gubbins supported us with all the planning and liaison and practicalities. We could trust them to see us through, and their recommendations for a florist and caterer were excellent and experienced with the uncertainty of numbers attending that come with a funeral. The financial side also was clear, reasonable and up-front with no pressure to over spend. I unreservedly recommend the Gubbins team on every level.

  • 5 Mila Smith 17th Feb 2025

    Have been absolutely great. Nothing was too much trouble. 

  • 5 Stephen Fry 15th Feb 2025

  • 5 Ruth Cornish 19th Jan 2025

    An excellent team from guidance on the wording of the service sheets, death announcement to ensuring the day ran smoothly. Bearers were given the confidence to carry the coffin, something they are all immensely pleased to have done. An amazing service

  • 5 Ann Blatchford 20th Dec 2024

  • 5 Roger Pyke 8th Nov 2024

    Harry and Jo have been brilliant through this sad time for me and the family being so supportive and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble even down to the fact my late wife's request for a very specific coffin. Taking over a well run, loved and established business such as the Wellingtons have, can be hard, but the transfer seems to be seemless and I can assure anyone, that you will not get better service than this. Thank you Harry and Jo

  • 5 Liz Rodgers 6th Nov 2024

    Thank you Harry & Jo

  • 5 Adam Matthews 7th Aug 2024

    From the moment I contacted them, both Jo and Harry were exceptionally knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate but above all human. They made a tough few weeks so much easier by guiding us through the process and advising with difficult decisions. Highly recommend.

  • 5 Julia Thomas 1st Jul 2024

    From the moment I contacted Jo at Gubbin's they were so professional and reassuring,and really listened to what we wanted for dad.  His funeral was a joyous celebration of his life, rather than something to get through.
    Harry met with us and explained everything clearly, and pointed us in the right direction when we weren't sure about what we wanted, I have no hesitation in recommending them. Many thanks again for your support,advice and reassurance.
