Catherine Milner
As a family, our experience with Gallaghers was exemplary. I cannot recommend them enough. In such a difficult time, they support and guide you with the utmost respect and care and made the whole process much easier.
Wendy Halloway
I can’t thank Gallagher’s enough for dealing with the loss of my lovely Mum with compassion and understanding. Special thanks go to Michelle, who seemed to really understand us as a family and helped to make a difficult day run smoothly, with everything just as we wanted.
Peter Mawson
We very much appreciated the time, trouble and care given by Paul and all the staff both before and during the day of the funeral, that was put into supporting us into creating the funeral that we know my father would have wanted. A job well done from a family friendly service.
Helen Cobley
I cannot be more grateful to the whole team at Gallaghers, but especially to Sam. He has been utterly professional and supportive throughout the process and has made an otherwise sad occasion into a superbly managed celebration of my father’s life.
Pamela McSharry
All staff showed empathy and were very supportive as we endured seven weeks of waiting for the funeral to take place, through no fault of their own. On the day of the funeral, all ran smoothly and the staff were professional and also friendly which we considered a perfect balance.
Kim Young
I was treated with great respect, consideration & sympathy from first contact. Simon has guided & advised me throughout a very difficult time. Always available to reassure & answer questions efficiently, friendly & professionaly. Would highly recommend.
