What people say

★★★★★
F P Guiver & Sons Funeral Directors provided an excellent service and supported the funeral of my dad with both professionalism and genuine compassion. Everything was handled smoothly and with real attention to detail, which helped make a very difficult time easier to manage. Neil was particularly supportive, offering clear guidance and consistent compassion to me and my family throughout. Thank you to the whole team for the respectful, considerate and caring way you carried out every part of the process
★★★★★
I would just like to say big thank you for all the arrangements with Grace's funeral last month. It was everything we hoped for, you and your colleagues did a exemplary professional job on what was a very stressful day for the family. Your care, kindness and attention to detail through the whole process really helped us and we are very grateful. I would thoroughly recommend F.P. Guivers & Sons to any grieving family.
★★★★★
The Guivers team were helpful, friendly and compassionate. They made a very emotional process easier to bear. Neil was great at gently guiding us through the haze of trying to choose a funeral when my mum was not in the right headspace of doing this for her husband. On the day of the funeral, they were professional, respectful and kind. All in all, I would recommend Guivers 100%. This is the 3rd family member that we have used them with. Thanks Guys, the Moran family appreciate you immensely.
★★★★★
This is the third time we, as a family, have used Guiver’s to take care of a family member’s funeral arrangements. Their customer service and communication is flawless as is their attention to detail. Using Guiver’s took the stress of the arrangements away from us and gave us the confidence to face what was obviously an emotionally challenging day with the confidence of knowing we were in good hands.
★★★★★
I cannot thank Guivers enough, during what was a very difficult time for our family. I used their services 23 years ago for my Dad, they were lovely then and they are still the same caring company. Everything was explained , the best options for the webcast, what would happen on the day, our request for our Mum to stop at what was her home for the last 65years before then proceeding to the cemetery. Nothing was too much bother, even my constant phone calls to them. I would like to thank all the staff and especially Craig, you are all doing the best job possible during these unprecedented time
