Ed Grapes 1st Nov 2022

I would recommend Shayne Stork's funeral services unreservedly. In my dealings with Shayne, he was practical, informative and efficient, whilst calm and sensitive, and either himself or one of his colleagues always made themselves available to answer queries, and responded in a timely manner. His assistance and guidance in navigating us through making arrangements and related decisions was invaluable, following the premature death of my wife and in consequently distressing circumstances. This included making sound, considered recommendations in terms of our Celebrant (Humanist Rachel Narkiewicz who was excellent), and options for the service, which we chose to hold at the wonderful tranquil woodland setting at GreenAcres, Colney Wood. We are very grateful to all parties involved.

Helen Lennie 11th Oct 2022

Shayne and his family have been wonderful.  They have helped to organise everything and they have been a great support.  I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for helping us all through a very difficult time.

    This is the second funeral Shayne has organised and conducted for my family. I will never or would never trust anyone else. Shayne is down to earth, realistic, honest, caring, thoughtful and goes the extra mile. Myself & my family can’t thank him enough for giving my Pops the best possible send off. 
    Thank you to you Shayne & whomever helped you. 
    Many thanks Charmaine & The Cawdron Family xXx

    Shayne has carried out a number of funerals for our friends and family and has provided an excellent level of service for all of them. He is courteous, polite, respectful, helpful and supportive at a time of need and crisis. We will undoubtedly use his services again as and when required. Many thanks again Shayne.

  • 5 Jared & Serena Gambling 25th Sep 2022

    Shayne Stork – utterly professional, caring, no amount of personal detail requested, was too much for him. Delivered everything that is needed for the funeral and exactly what I wanted. Truly an independent service.
    Treated Dad and ourselves with the utmost respect, courtesy and dignity.
    We received so many comments after the funeral, all saying what a perfectly delivered funeral, it was. I naturally agreed and could not have asked for more.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Thank you so much for your kind words I was so pleased I was able to help you at this time. Shayne

    They have such a caring and compassionate way with families. Shayne and his family are very professional and nothing was too much trouble. Shayne was always contactable throughout the whole process. I would not hesitate to recommend Shayne to anybody he really is such a kind and caring man. Thank you Shayne Oliver and Harry.

  • 5 R C 11th Sep 2022

    I can't rate Shayne and his family highly enough for their help and kindness following my father's sudden death. Shayne offered advice and support which made me feel more at ease during the most traumatic time. The level of care and attention to detail was second to none, he even facilitated the use of his own personal landrover for my dad's final journey and despite being a little behind schedule (my fault, not his) he still carefully took the time to privately play a special voice message to grandad from my little one.
    The day was beautiful and encapsulated who my Dad was perfectly. Thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart.
    I hope we don't need your services again for a very long time, of course, but I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone. And when the time comes there is nobody else I would want to look after me and my family with your gentle, calm nature providing respect and dignity when we need it most.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review of our services. It was such a pleasure to be able to provide my landrover for the funeral service, we always strive to make the funeral as personal as possible. Thank you Shayne 
  • 4 Paula Abraham 2nd Sep 2022

  • 5 John Arms 3rd Aug 2022

    Shayne and his team provided such a loving and personal service. It was a great mix of respect and lightness that made a difficult job much easier.

    Shayne had previously supported us with my dad's funeral in 2019. I remember making appointments with two funeral directors but, once we had met Shayne, we immediately cancelled the other appointment as we knew we were in the right place. Our experiences from that point continued to reassure us that we made the right decision.

    Shayne and his family supporting us and our family. Perfect - thank you.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear John, thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review of our services. We always strive to give 100% to every family we have the privilege of looking after. Thank you for entrusting us as your funeral director. Our best wishes to you and your family, Regards Shayne.
  • 5 Terry Walden 28th Jul 2022

    We found SSFFS to be very professional in the handling of my father's funeral. They accommodated our requests, and managed / arranged all aspects associated with it. We also felt we received a personal experience and were in safe hands during this stressful time. Thank you.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Terry and Family , Thank you for your kind words we always try to spend as much time with our families to make the service a personal experience and glad you feel you were in safe hands it means a lot to my family to get this review .

  • 5 Nik Bartram 26th Jul 2022

    Shayne and Co couldn’t have been more professional. Making every piece of the day work for us, especially with two family funerals only a few weeks apart, we had some specific requirements. I would recommend Shayne any day of the week. 

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Nik thanks for such kind words glad things went ok two funerals only weeks apart must have been upsetting for you all. Glad we were able to help.
