    From the initial telephone conversation with Helen we felt comfortable enough to make the necessary arrangements for Malcolm's funeral. At this sad time we were guided through the whole process with care and support. The day of the funeral was well planned, organised and was carried out with professionalism and dignity by Helen and her team. All family and friends praised the Celebrant, Christine Freeman who did a superb job in summing up Malcolm's life.

    Our sincere thanks go to everyone involved.

  • 5 Stephanie Wainwright 21st Nov 2020

    George Brooke are the only company we trusted for Stephen's funeral. Helen and her team have been wonderful, nothing was too much trouble. It was also good that Helen knew what my late husband was like being an old friend from way back. This helped when it came to what he'd wear as I couldn't decide so asked her to choose.
    Helen knew my husband wouldn't have wanted anything fussy and they helped me to create the best send off we could have in the present climate.
