    I would thoroughly recommend Shayne and his family business to anyone. The service we received at what is always a difficult time was exemplary. Shayne is very supportive, helpful in his guidance and has a wealth of experience which he draws on. He made a difficult time significantly easier.

    SHAYNE STORK replied

  • 5 Rachel Brabazon-Dremming 12th Aug 2019

    Couldn't be more pleased with the service we received from Shayne and his team. At a time when the worst has happened, they made us feel so at ease. With no pressure about anything. He was so approachable and easy to talk to and on the day was so professional, respectful and reassuring about everything going on. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Would highly recommend and we will most certainly be using Shayne in the future. ( hopefully not for a long time yet!!)

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Rachel and family,

    Thank you so much for this we always try to make people feel at ease and never pressure anyone and we pride ourselves on this. Hopefully will not be seeing you for a long time professionally anyway.

    We cannot recommend Shayne highly enough for his care in dealing with the arrangements for our Mum's funeral.
    His compassion, caring and understanding reassured us that Mum was in good hands and being dealt with with dignity.
    His professionalism on the day made the funeral much easier to deal with and he guided us through the process.
    Shayne was there to speak with whenever needed.
    Thank you so much for everything. You are a kind, genuine , caring guy and we couldn't have wished for anything better for Jo.

    Our love to you and please continue doing everything you do.

  • 5 Rosemary Landsdale 13th May 2019

    It was a difficult time and they could not have been kinder or more patient, especially with my sister. The day turned out to be very well organised and very stress free. All who came found it a very wonderful celebration of life of an elderly lady who died aged 91. I would like Shane Stork to do my own funeral, when the time comes - this is intended to be a great compliment to him and his staff.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Thank you very much for this we have always got time for our family's and will try to give you a 100% all of the time, we are pleased we could help you all at this time of your life and thank you for letting us look after your mum's funeral service.
  • 5 Susan Cushion 11th May 2019

    Shayne was really helpful throughout the process. He's friendly and down to earth - I would recommend his firm.

    Thank you so much for this it always means so much to me to get reviews from my family's after the funeral service.
  • 5 Marilyn Flaxman 7th May 2019

    Shayne was very professional yet still warm and friendly.  Explained everything to us and helped and guided us to make decisions. Would definitely recommend to anyone I know without hesitation. Thank you Shayne

  • 5 John Arms 16th Apr 2019

    As a family we knew, as soon as we met Shayne, that we wanted him to support us with Dad's funeral. He explained things clearly, supported us every step of the way and even laughed with us when those moments arose.  On the day he gave us the space we needed,whilst always being just close enough if or when we needed him. I would highly recommend Shayne and his team - you'll be in safe and caring hands.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Thank you for this review it means so much to us to get your comments glad I was some help to you and your family and thank you for asking me to look after your Dad.

  • 5 Tina Allen 8th Mar 2019

    From the first time we met with Shayne we could tell that he truly cared about the service he provides bereaved families with.He made us feel at ease and was so caring and friendly.A few days later we met Helena and she made us feel exactly the same by making sure mum had exactly what we knew she would have wanted.Shayne and all his staff gave our mum the most beautiful service that she really deserved and we thank them for this from the bottom of our hearts.Also, the care and time they gave us in the time between mums passing and her funeral was amazing.Always there for us at any time and they are still there for us now.We can't thank them enough.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Tina and family, thank you for this we do truly care about our family's that trust us to look after they loved ones.

  • 5 Michael Muscroft 26th Feb 2019

    Without a doubt, Shayne and his team have provided the best possible service. He also conducted the arrangements for my fathers funeral several years ago, with the same empathy, sympathy, courteousness and complete satisfaction.

    Shayne provides such a good service that our family has adopted his company as our family funeral provider and I personally would not want anyone else to conduct my funeral arrangements.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Michael, Thank you for letting me look after your family members and for adopting me as your family funeral Director.
