We had a wonderful experience with Grocutt & Sons in a very sad time. Steve has such a calm demeanour and guided us through the process and nothing was too much trouble. I can highly recommend using their services and will definitely do again should the need arise.
Gill Mirley Very caring, professional and dignified service at a difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Grocutt & Sons.
Matthew Spooner A caring and professional family company who we had so much trust in, to make our parents’ funeral stress free. The little things they do mean so much. Thanks Steve and all staff involved.
Sharon Parton Steve was wonderful to deal with and arrange our mum’s funeral. His team were so caring and compassionate on the actual day. Steve made a special visit to the crematorium the next day as he had made special arrangements with them to pick up mum’s ashes so I could take them home to Australia with me.
