    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!

  • 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.

  • 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.
