What people say

★★★★★
Bruce arranged my Father's funeral on 29th September and, from the first phone call, to the Service and burial, we couldn't have asked for a more professional, attentive and caring experience. The arrangements were handled with great care by Bruce and Chess and, on the day itself, Bruce and his team were immaculately turned out, professional and hugely respectful. In such a trying time, we were fortunate to have found Bastock and Bruce and would not hesitate to recommend them.
★★★★★
From my initial contact, Bruce and his staff provided an excellent service. Their empathetic manner and attention to detail ensured my Dad’s funeral went as smoothly as it could. Any queries I had were responded to immediately. I highly recommend Bruce and his wonderful team. Thank you so much Bastock and Bruce.
★★★★★
From the moment my dad died to the day of the funeral it's all been wonderfully smooth, compassionate and professional. Bruce helped us navigate an issue with the death certificate and even provided a speaker on the day of the funeral. Nothing was too much trouble. They are the team to have with you during a difficult time. Thank you so much from my mum and me.
★★★★★
A sincere thank you to everyone at Bastock and Bruce for arranging the most dignified and beautiful funeral for my uncle. Bruce took care of every detail and made a very sad and difficult time for us so much easier. The attention to detail and the care and sincerity shown were second to none. I recommend them wholeheartedly. They truly deserve their five star reviews. Thank you Bruce - I am so grateful to you. Marie

Thank you Bruce for delivering from start to finish a respectful and professional service with the personal touch. You helped make such a terrible process feel seamless. From our first meeting when I was crying in your office to me being so proud of the beautiful, classy, hearse which turned up for everyone to see a magical send off for Mum. I approached several companies to compare but you are by far the only place I would go to in future.
