Roberts delivers, one of its clients shared: “Although this was a very sad time of our lives as a family, every single member of staff did their upmost to support and guide us in this very difficult time. The home or office visits were extremely professional but also friendly and warm. We had several visits to the chapel of rest and were supported every step of the way, nothing was too much trouble. “The day of the service was hard but made so much easier by the support from staff who guided us and set the expectations from the very start so we knew what the day ahead of us would look like. Honestly, we cannot fault them and we are forever grateful they handled everything for mum’s funeral, what an amazing team you all are. Thank you from each and every one of us.” Contact G.
