    I cannot express my thanks enough to George and the whole Roberts team for the care and compassion shown to us on the recent passing of my Dad. The level of professionalism and thoughtfulness was out of this world as they cared for Dad and my family. Nothing was too much trouble as the team helped us to fulfil our wishes to have the perfect send off for Dad.

    It went really well and to plan.But we weren't aware it was a short service and it was extremely rushed as we left the crem,there was stress to get the cars moving..I think we would have gone for the longer service had we known.
