Recently used Arthur gresty in northenden. I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone. Dan was amazing! It was breath of fresh air to have a young director especially being young myself. He was down to earth and so easy to get along with. He went above and beyond for my dads funeral. He was so respectful and nothing was to much. They didn’t rip us off and didn’t make us feel pressured. They had such a family feel and I would use them again if I needed a funeral directors.
