Jane Harby 23rd Dec 2017

The care and attention to detail was wonderful, no request was too much, and we did have some specific requests! Their patience and thoughtfulness was excellent. I would recommend them to anyone who has to go through the stressful events following a death. They made the procedure so much easier.

Michael John Tinsley 18th Dec 2017

Everything efficiently and compassionately carried out to the last detail. Very supportive throughout.

Funeral directors Teresa Spencer and Gary Cooke are in charge of the funeral home and will be more than happy to help in person Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 12.30 pm. You can also schedule an appointment to be seen after hours if it is more convenient for you. To do so, please call the telephone number, which is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

The office covers all of Ruddington and its surrounding areas including Bradmore, Bunny, Burton on the Wolds, Costock, East Leake, Hoton, Keyworth, Kingston upon Soar, Normanton on Soar, Normanton on the Wolds, Rempstone, Sileby, Stanton on the Wolds, Sutton Bonnington, West Leake, Widmerpool, Willoughby on the Wolds, Wysall and beyond.
