What people say

★★★★★
We lost my late Mother in March this year, and I had no doubt as to who I wanted to handle the funeral arrangements for her. We had used Valentines Funeral Services when my brother passed several years before and their service to us was excellent, we are a large family and Gary and his family could not do enough to accommodate us all and to ensure we felt that our loved ones were in the best possible hands throughout! When my brother passed I did my home work and went to several funeral homes, most are franchises and run as business like any other but from the moment I met Gary and his family
★★★★★
I cannot thank Gary and his team at GM Valentine enough for their professionalism and compassion shown towards me and my family in organising my dad’s funeral. At a time of deep sadness everyone showed a great understanding of our needs and requests, they guided us through organising all of the service. Their help and advice was invaluable. From our first meeting to my dad’s funeral; We were reassured knowing they were there to guide and support us. Dad’s service was perfect and just what we wanted and had wished for him. Thank you.
★★★★★
Gary and his team looked after my dad on his passing. It was a really tough time, Gary took the time to listen to us as a family about our wants. They were very accommodating in every aspect of the arrangements for the funeral and looking after our dad with great care and compassion.
★★★★★
Gary and Kirsty had taken care of my father's funeral service in February 2024. The care and kindness they showed was amazing. My dad was given the utmost respect from collecting him from the Hospice to delivery of his ashes. They went above and beyond in every aspect. Professionalism with the personal touch, what more could you ask for. The best.
★★★★★
I cannot recommend Gary and all at GM Valentine highly enough. Their service is excellent, they go the extra mile, and nothing is too much to ask. At one of the hardest times, Gary and the Team make things a little easier with their kind and caring approach, guiding you through the process of saying a final farewell to your loved one. Totally professional, but warm and compassionate at the same time. They really are the best!
