  • 5 Louise Heron 15th Mar 2024

    From start to finish the team at Andrew Grey have been so kind , thoughtful and supportive to myself and my dad. It’s always sad losing a loved one but to lose a son and brother at 43 years of age is a pain we wouldn’t wish on our worst enemy . The team cared for our beautiful Christopher once he was in their care and made sure he was sleeping so peacefully. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for protecting our Christopher on his last journey and making sure he was respected and honoured until he was at complete rest.

    Can not recommend Andrew Grey's highly enough. From start to finish they made a painful situation manageable and were there for us whenever and for whatever we needed. The love and care they treated, not only us with, but mary too was remarkable and having that personal touch meant the world.
