Excellent Service from Respect Funeral Services. Gordon and Alison are so lovely to work with. My sister and I are two young girls who lost their dad with no idea of how to arrange a funeral and Gordon and Alison made the whole thing so easy for us. They really cater to your needs and ensure you have all of the information you need throughout the whole process, and not just related to the funeral but also other areas to help you following the death of a loved one. I spoke to a couple of Funeral Directors and Respect were the friendliest and don’t make you feel like they are just taking your money, they really give a more personal service. Our dad wanted something short and sweet, and Gordon and Alison arranged exactly that. Perfect service.
