Brian and Sharples in Marple were absolutely outstanding in organising my grandad’s funeral. From start to finish, they were kind, professional, and incredibly supportive during a very difficult time for our family. Everything was handled with such care, dignity, and attention to detail, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. A special mention has to go to Paul, who was exceptional compassionate, patient, and genuinely caring. Nothing was too much trouble, and he made sure everything went exactly as we wished. I honestly cannot thank them enough for the service they provided. I would h

Brian Sharples provided an absolutely amazing service for both my Mum and step-dad. This is a family run business that truly cares and I have no hesitation in recommending them! Luke was amazing from start to finish but all the staff were warm, friendly, helpful, but above all professional. They gave help and support all the way, relieving much of the anxiety that organising loved one's funeral can cause. Thank you so very much for everything!

In life there comes a time when you need a trusted Funeral Director to take care of your loved ones. I entrusted my late Father and recently my Mother into the care of family business, Brian Sharples and Son. Luke and in particular Paul in their Marple Office were superb throughout the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble, every question was answered and their "in house" floral tributes and order of service printing took so much burden off my shoulders. Dignity, respect and understanding were key words throughout and on the day everything was precisely and perfectly delivered in the man
