W G Rathbone Funeral Directors

My first experience of having to arrange a funeral was made very easy by WG Rathbone. My StepFather's sudden death and out-of-hours time made things more complicated, especially in the Covid climate but right from the first contact everything was made clear and the team was thoroughly helpful. Regular updates and advice made this sad time far easier to organise. Thank you.

Rathbones gave us excellent service throughout, from the collection of my wife's body on the night she died, to the time spent arranging the funeral, and through to the funeral itself.

They were extremely professional, and showed great care, concern and the utmost respect. Never rushing us, and always alert to our wishes. They "went the extra mile" in terms of the service they gave.

I can wholeheartedly recommend them to others.

The care and compassion we received from W G Rathbone was outstanding. Everyone was so kind and respectful to my family and my later Father on the run up to the funeral and on the day. With special thanks to Junior and colleagues for looking after us all on the day of the funeral and the respect you showed my late Father and my elderly Mother.

Great service in every respect funeral related except one, communication.

If you phone them you can be on the phone for ever waiting to speak to someone, this should be the simplest of things to fix but sadly ruins what is otherwise a good service, shame.

W G Rathbone,
We can't thank you all enough for everything you have done for us.
After losing our dad we didn't know where to start, You were there! From the first call we made to Sara we knew you were the funeral directors that was right for us.
Right from the very start you made a very difficult and hard time a little more easier. You were caring, Understanding and was there for us every step of the way.
You took care of us and took care of our dad with every bit of dignity.
Jayne came to us and helped us arrange our dads service with ease and care.
Jayne did a beautiful service. He would be so proud of us.
We truly are ever so grateful for all your help.
Many thanks,
Chrissy, Vivienne and Martin xx

W G Rathbones funeral directors were so helpful and caring assisting me to arrange my husbands funeral following his unexpected passing. Christine took me under her wing and guided me through the funeral process. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she was easily contactable through email and on the phone. The service itself was beautiful and so deserving of my lovely husband. I would highly recommend Rathbones. They provide a very personal compassionate service.

Unfortunately, communication is poor as the Phone System does not work, long waiting times and a-lot of time on hold, when you think you have gotten through, the call ends and you have to ring back.
