Very happy with the service and no complaints

Carole Haydon 1st Jun 2020

The service was excellent, at a time when there is so much to do and think about Shayne helped me so much, making suggestions when I needed help and making everything seem less daunting. I have continued to receive help and feel I could ask him questions at any time, nothing is too much trouble for him.

Lauren Cotton 22nd May 2020

Shayne was very personable and helpful during a difficult time. He was patient and took time to explain things. He gave us the send off we wanted.

  • 5 Christina Brown 20th May 2020

    Shayne allowed us to have a face-to-face meeting despite having to work within the enforced lockdown restrictions. This was very helpful for us as we had never organised a cremation before. He ensured that all of our questions were answered. The team supporting Shane was also very professional and everything was done to a very high standard.

    The cremation was conducted with compassion and integrity.

    Thank you on behalf of all of the family and friends.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Christina, Thank you for you comments we are trying our very best during the lockdown restrictions to keep things as normal but as safe as we can. I am so pleased me and my team could help you at this time.

  • 5 Frances Kett 15th May 2020

    Shayne and his team were very professional, non pushy unlike other corporate funeral directors which we called. He was very down to earth, nothing was an inconvenience for him.
    Based upon the funeral was over the lock down period he did his best for us and our family which other funeral directors flatly refused. From potentially waiting 6 weeks for lockdown to ease, allowing family to view through to cars.
    Nobody ever wants to use funeral directors, however we were delighted that we did choose your services. Everyone commented how good you and your team where on the day too.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Frances many thanks for your lovely kind words. The team and myself are always pleased to get such reviews. The time we are in at the moment has been difficult for all and we do our best to help our families give their loved ones the send off they deserve. Many Thanks Shayne and team.

  • 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.
