    I cannot speak highly enough of the service we had from Shayne Stork. From our initial contact with him until the finish of the funeral service he was excellent. We particularly appreciated his very friendly, helpful and warm approach. My mother to, whose funeral it was, would have liked him as a person and this was important to us. So thank you Shayne.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 5 Emily D'Wilton-Holmes 3rd Aug 2021

    Shayne was wonderful, from our very first meeting he was so considerate and listened to every detail, we feel like he really got to know Nanny. Not once did we feel rushed or pressured, and the fact that we were able to organise for Nanny to make an entrance on a Motorcycle side car was just beautiful, she would have loved it. We also had some last minute (very last minute!) changes to music and readings, which Shayne still managed to organise and even printed out an up to date order of service the morning of. We cannot thank Shayne enough for organising such a perfect send off at such a difficult time, we will certainly be recommending. 

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Emily and family thank you for taking the time to leave this review it means so much to me and my family. I do love getting to know about the people that I am looking after I think she would of been proud of you all and she would of loved the Motorcycle side car. We use all local family businesses for our supplies and that gives us the chance to make last minute changes.
  • 5 William Smith 2nd Aug 2021

    Shayne from the moment he came to house, to the time he dropped us at the wake he guided and advised the family. 
    He was personally involved and directed operations on every aspect, viewings, the service everything, accommodating our needs.. perfect… I believe my wife summed it up… Shayne you are like one of the family. I would have no hesitation to recommend him and would not consider another should I need his services again
    Thank you very much sir.. you helped provide the service and send off we wanted, for that I will always be grateful.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear William and family thank you so much for this lovely review I always try to treat my family's the way I would want to be treated myself. It is an honour to be classed as one of your family.
  • 5 Andrew Jones 13th Jul 2021
