What Our Families Say About Us

Thank you so much for all your guidance before and after my husband’s passing. It made a difficult situation that bit easier, and everyone has said how well the funeral service went, which is down to you and your professionalism.

S.M. Stratton - August 2022

With sensitive and consummate professionalism throughout, the team at Gubbins supported us with all the planning and liaison and practicalities. We could trust them to see us through, and their recommendations were excellent and experienced with the uncertainty of numbers attending that come with a funeral. The financial side also was clear, reasonable and up-front with no pressure to over spend. I unreservedly recommend the Gubbins team on every level.

S. R AND FAMILY COADS GREEN - MARCH 2025

Thank you for making the funeral and final journey as perfect and beautiful as possible. I will be forever grateful for your kindness and guidance through the hard times. I hope people will read this and know they can have the same trust that I had knowing my husband was getting a 5 star send off. You made the whole process very easy for me with your guidance.

D.G. Widemouth Bay - February 2023

D. W AND FAMILY MARHAMCHURCH - DECEMBER 2024

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to you and your team for the wonderful, seamless funeral service you have provided for us. Today was always going to be a difficult day, and emotionally it was, however knowing that you had effortlessly organised all we had wished for to provide a fitting send off for my darling mother, made the day so much easier. I have received a number of comments today expressing how well organised the celebration of my mother’s life was, and therefore wanted to pass on these comments. Thank you again for providing an amazing service.
