Tim a at the Park Gate Branch was fantastic and so helpful to us in organising my mother in laws funeral. They covered every detail and the photo tributes and celebrant recommended Charlie was exceptional. Neil the funeral director on the day was great and nothing was too much trouble thank you so much
★★★★★
We recently used B Mathews at Park Gate after our father sadly passed away, Lisa in the office, was really helpful from the start and all the way through the entire process. We found the help given made the planning of the funeral much more bearable at a very difficult time. Neil was a huge help on the funeral day. We would recommend using B Matthews for all your funeral needs. All the staff were very professional and delivered a high quality of service. Thank you for the perfect send off for my father.
★★★★★
Lisa at B Matthews arranged both my Mum and Dad's funerals in quick succession. She guided us through the process from start to finish on both occasions making the task more manageable during a very difficult time. Lisa recommended Charlie Keene for the funeral officiant and he gave my parents the send off they deserved, don't underestimate the difference a quality officiant makes to a funeral. Thank you to Lisa, Neil and the whole team.
