  • 5 Julie Pilgrim 28th Feb 2022

    We were impressed from first meeting Shayne to discuss my Dad's funeral through to the ending of my Dad's funeral.
    Shayne is so lovely to speak to and nothing is too much trouble.
    The funeral was a beautiful service and everything ran just as we wanted and as Shayne had explained.
    Shayne mentioned Greenacres at Colney to us, we would not have considered this option..... But it was such a beautiful place and so, so pleased that we choose Greenacres. Thank you Shayne and the team at Shayne Stork Funeral Service.

    SHAYNE STORK replied

    Words cannot describe how  sensitive, caring and respectful Shayne was, he even went out his way to get something extra special for us. Geoff the celebrant was perfect Shayne knew he would be the right person to conduct my sisters celebration of life. Nothing was too much to ask, without a doubt the best company if you want that personal, kind, and caring touch.

    Thank you to you all that made a very sad day as bearable as possible.

    God bless you all 🙏 

    RIP Nikki Jane Andrews

  • 5 Cathy Armstrong 15th Nov 2021

    Shayne Stork and staff were very helpful and kind and caring. Their
    care of Dad was very respectful .
    Shayne guided us through the difficulties of organising Dads funeral from Australia. The Celebration of Dads life in the beautiful setting of Colney Woodlands was a very fitting farewell and a credit to Shaynes dedication to carry out our family's wishes.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Cathy many thanks for your kind words and glad we were able to give you the service you wanted for Dad. Things must have been so difficult for you living so far away.
