★★★★★
Our family have used Drakes twice in the last13 years. I am pleased to say our recent experience was as good as the first time. Stuart and his team helped use through the process with calm and sureness. Stuart listened to what we wanted, gave advice and recommended an ideal celebrant in Chas. The funeral pamphlet was above what we expected and well presented. Their support during the service was thoughtful and unobtrusive.
★★★★★
I am especially grateful to the funeral director Stuart Drake, who talked me through everything I need to do. I was feeling very overwhelmed in the days immediately after my dad died and having his step-by-step guidance on the paperwork and various things that needed to be done was really helpful.
★★★★★
We chose Drakes as we had used their services previously and couldn't be more satisfied. Stuart was helpful, supportive and professional from start to finish, likewise the celebrant Chas. The service was conducted flawlessly and the attentive preparation was very welcome, as was the follow-up. I would have no hesitation in engaging them in the future.
★★★★★
I couldn't fault Drakes in the way they managed my fathers funeral and how they dealt with the family. They were considerate, caring, respectful and truly understanding. Their help and guidance through this most difficult of times was appreciated greatly by my mother and the rest of the family.
★★★★★
A big thank you to Stuart and his team for making the wettest day so far this year into a positive experience for us! His attention to detail was outstanding, and made what could have been a terrible day due to the weather into a memorable day in a good way!Thank you for your efforts. I would recommend Drakes 100%
