    My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better Funeral Director than Shayne Stork, not only professional but everyone concerned were compassionate, understanding and nothing was to much trouble in or out of hours! 
    We were so impressed with this family of undertakers that we are changing from our original Funeral Director to Shayne Stork for our funerals.

  • 5 Owen Gibbs 28th Jan 2020

    We would highly recommend Shayne Stork to anyone looking for a kind thoughtful and extremely helpful Funeral service, an Independant whom was more concerned with helping us plan the funeral with various ideas and tips, than the larger corporate entities we visited whom all wanted to upscale the service at a higher cost.
    So we would say go direct to Shane and receive the consideration your loved ones deserve.
    We cannot thank Shayne and his staff enough. With special thanks to Bob Hannam the celebrant whom was absolutely brilliant and who made the service so special and thoughtful.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Owen, words cannot express how grateful I am for your kind review of our services, it means so much to hear these kind words. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the services for your dad. 
    All the best Shayne.

    regards the Bridges family 

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Thank you John for really lovely comments, it was a pleasure to look after you and your family again. 
  • 5 Richard Ogilvie 6th Jan 2020

    Shayne recently organised the funeral arrangements for my dad and we couldn't recommend him more highly. He runs a 24 hour family business so that at any time of day you can get in touch with him, Emma, Harry or his office staff.
    Shayne is efficient and organised, but also so sensitive and caring that he made a very difficult experience as agreeable as it could possibly be. He also enabled all the payments (flowers, wake, charity contributions, etc.) to be on one invoice which was, for us, a weight taken off our shoulders just when we needed it. When the hospital were taking a long time to produce the death certificate he contacted their bereavement office on our behalf and the result was immediate.
    So we recommend Shayne and his team as highly as possible and without any reservation whatsoever. Many, many thanks, Shayne.
    Richard, Dulcie, Patrick and Georgina Ogilvie.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Richard and family, I am absolutely humbled at the kind words and review of our services, it means so much to us to be able to give you the best service we  possibly can. On behalf of myself, my family and colleagues, thank you.

    Never a good time to make an appointment with a funeral director, but Shayne put us at ease immediately and gave us great confidence that everything would be fine on the day. This was justified to such an extent that I will be taking out a plan myself. A faultless experience!
