Robert was very professional and empathetic throughout the whole sad experience. His expert handling of all matters from start to finish was second to none. The eulogy was perfect, absolutely perfect and captured the true Stuart. The organisation from paperwork, the cars, the service, the piper, the flowers nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much

Brian Simpson 20th Jul 2022

This is the third funeral I have had to arrange in the last five years and I can say without hesitation that this one organised by Village undertakers was the best. Robert was totally on the ball and made the whole process very simple. Everything was planned in the comfort of our own home at a time to suit us. The minister recommended by Robert was also excellent. She too offered a home visit and delivered a lovely service. Brian ( Harden )

I was really lucky that mum had planned ahead & met with Robert well before his services being required. She had a clear view of what she wanted, which made things so much easier at a difficult time for the family. Robert was extremely professional & understanding and really couldn't do any more to ease this loss for us. Mum was 82 when she passed but had a lot of health issues in recent years, which probably made her think about arrangements. It's certainly made me consider making my own plans, anything to help those left behind cope. I certainly would recommend the personal service I've received, compassion & understanding from a genuinely nice chap.

    I recommend Village Undertakers wholeheartedly. Robert has been prompt, professional, courteous and helpful throughout. His support has allowed me to concentrate on other procedures following my mother's death, knowing that he has been respectful of and caring for my mother's body through to her final journey. It is particularly helpful that Village Undertakers' services include meetings at my home throughout, from initial discussion to delivery of ashes. Thank you, Robert

    First class, can not recommend Robert highly enough. Made the difficult process as painless as possible with great care & attention given to every detail, carrying out our wishes to the letter. A very personable & dedicated man, making our very personalised & individual home burial a day to be proud of. We will be highly recommending Robert to our family & friends.

  • 5 Maurice Pickles 20th Mar 2022

    I would like to thank Village Undertakers for the sensitive and accurate portrayal of my sister Sonya's life. The eulogy was delivered by Robert with humour and compassion.

    Nothing was too much in meeting my requests and offering good guidance through out from start to finish.

    I wholeheartedly thank Robert for for his ability to listen and compose such a wonderful tribute to Sonya with many anecdotes from Family, Friends and Colleagues.

    I recommend Village Undertakers to anyone having the unfortunate task of arranging a funeral for family, friends or others. It is a truly personal service that is offered and one that will be forever in my thoughts when thinking about Sonya.

    Thank you Robert for your consideration and kindness throughout this most difficult time. You took the worry out of my wife’s funeral allowing me and our family time to say our goodbyes. Your kind, gentle and down to earth manner was exactly what we needed. The funeral was well organised and ran very smoothly. Thank you for treating my dearest wife with such respect.

    Very professional kind service.
    Robery took extra special care to support our family to give our Mum the service that was just right for her.

  • 4 Carole Robertson 25th Aug 2021

    Robert was kind, gentle, understanding, helpful and very compassionate. He is also a registered Celebrant which meant only having to deal with one person at the worst time in my life. 
    He did my husband proud under very difficult circumstances during the pandemic.
    I would recommend Village Undertakers to everyone.

    Thank you to you all.
