I would not hesitate to recommend G F Gubbin Funeral Directors. From start to finish they were professional, caring and gave us time to get things just right. It's lonely trying to sort out your loved ones funeral but Jo and Harry were there all the way with advice and ideas. 5 stars

Very efficient,yet so kind and put everyone at ease.
The entire family commented on the wonderful service

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.

What can I say. The most fantastic service from start to finish. For what is already a very difficult time Harry made the process so much easier to make those tough decisions. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend.

G F Gubbin have been absolutely amazing in everything they have done to deliver a service. They are very professional, caring, understanding, efficient and they really do help and assist with everything you need which takes alot of stress off. I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know.

If you are reading this it maybe because you have just lost a loved one or you maybe just planning for your own funeral ahead of time. Either way I can’t recommend GF Gubbin Funeral Directors highly enough. From the planning to the very sad day that arrived for my Mum and the whole plan that followed. Both Jo and Harry took the time to explain everything to us and never made us feel rushed or panicked. They were kind, thoughtful, empathetic and very patient. Within the months from my Mum’s passing to her funeral my brother Richard and I felt that we had gained two very lovely friends in Harry and Jo. 

Thank you both for making such a sad occasion lovely - just the way that Mum woukd have wanted it.

When my father died I was asked by my mother to organise his funeral as she did not feel able. I agreed but like many of you who will read these reviews I was terrified of making a mess of it.
Like you did or will, I began looking online and in our area was offered Gubbin funeral directors run by the Wellington funeral director family, or an alternative. After looking at that I decided to ask our friends network who consist of mainly the farming community. Gubbin was the only name mentioned unanimously. It was very daunting making contact but from the moment I called and spoke to Jo everything was taken care of from the start to the very finish. After the initial contact was made and the details of next steps were given to me by Jo, I had an appointment with Harry who confidently, and calmly went through every single aspect of what would happen at each stage. There were no hidden charges. There were no sudden changes of plan. There were no surprises or disappointments and no pushing unnecessary extras. I specifically asked for the cost of each thing because I was spending someone else's money. Harry did not falter and immediately priced each item as we went so that everything was extremely transparent.

Just imagine the day of the funeral arriving and your loved one treated with extremely solemn respect and professionalism and everything happening as you would expect and more. Harry and Jo wont let you make a mistake and will guide you through the process calmly and confidently and will organise everybody around your loved ones day. From the church, to the announcements, to the grave site and the pall bearers. The gentlemen supplied by Harry to bear my father were the most respectful, kind and professional people I could possibly hope to meet. It was an honour gents.

I can honestly say that what began as a nightmare of unknowns for me was quickly resolved by Harry and Jo into a beautiful ceremony and an everlasting memory of my fathers last days with us. Thank you Harry and Jo for everything that you do I could not have asked for more.

Engaging with G.F Gubbin during this difficult time was a truly comforting experience. The team is friendly, compassionate and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of the funeral process is managed with serene efficiency. Their willingness to go above and beyond to fulfill every request is remarkable. In the planning stages, they were incredibly accommodating, striving to honor the wishes of all involved with utmost respect. On the day of the funeral, their impeccable organization ensured that everything proceeded flawlessly, providing a sense of peace and closure to all attendees.

5 Melinda Hawke 21st Nov 2023

Very professional service which was thoughtful and caring at such a sad time. Thank you all for your kindness.

5 Meggie Parker-Jasper 8th Nov 2023

From the very first contact, Harry was so warming, calm and respectful. We discussed everything we wanted but with no pressure for the details we could add them when needed. We understood all that we needed to arrange and he was more than open throughout the arrangement period. On the day it couldn't have gone smoother, an absolutely beautiful send off made so stress free. And Harry was more than accommodating for any extra requests. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend and should I require his services again, hopefully not too soon, I wouldnt go anywhere else. Thank you from all the Parker, Jasper and Davey family.

5 Jo Keogh 29th Oct 2023
