Arthur Gresty Funeral Homes

Paul and the team at Arthur Gresty were outstanding. Our Mum died back in November and with no plans for her funeral, the task ahead was intimidating. The pressure you feel to organise the perfect funeral is frightening, and for us, it was our Mum’s funeral. A woman who dedicated her life to us - she deserved the best. Well I can say without any hesitation, Arthur Gresty delivered the best. Me and my sisters genuinely wouldn’t have changed a thing. From the respectful handling and care of our Mum at the Funeral Home, to the professionalism on the day of the service. Paul and the team were incredible, and whilst it was only for a few weeks, Paul became apart of the family and carried our Mum with us down the aisle. Our Mum was an Artist and so we knew we had to create something special. Paul was so welcoming of any crazy ideas we had. We decorated the coffin, did our Mum’s own makeup and Paul helped us source Vale Royal Crematorium. The Canvas wall at Vale Royal made the Funeral feel more like a piece of ‘performance art’!! What a send off! The whole experience was so personalised and that’s important. You want to feel like you’re in control of your love one’s final show and Paul didn’t let anything stand in our way. He was as determined as we were to get this right. Thank you Paul. Like many of the other reviews on here, it’s hard to put into words how grateful we are - but for what’s it’s worth, from Cleo, Felix and Darcy, thank you. Not just for the Funeral, but for being there for us.

The whole team were amazing, friendly, compassionate and helpful. Anthony in particular was outstanding and made the whole process much easier with his care, empathy and attention to detail.

Cora was amazing. She was kind and thoughtful and offered advise on what we needed to do from registering dad's passing to returning with the green form. She was very empathetic and professional at all times. Would definitely recommend.

It's hard to put into words what a comfort and a truly professional 1st class caring approach all of the staff at Grestys gave me and my family, in the past 2 weeks, following our dear Mother's passing away. They have been like an extended family. Always there to listen. Nothing was too much for them. They have been there since day one and they were exactly the same when my Father passed away in 1994. We would never go to anyone else and we have the peace of mind in knowing that they will be there again, when such a sad event occurs again in the future. Mike, Jean and all of your colleagues, you have raised the bar in giving us comfort. You did my Mother and my family proud. We will never forget you. Such special people, who truly put into practice, the words 'Caring For Others In Times Of Grief' Wish I could say more, but I hope these words give an indication of our eternal gratitude. Thank you all. God bless. Alma, Tony, Kim, Billy.

Gresty’s did such an outstanding job from my Mum’s passing to the funeral. Every contact we had with them was so pleasant despite the circumstances, and the staff were always so kind in greeting us upon visiting to see Mum (especially Helen). They even made the effort to allow us to visit on Sundays when they aren’t usually open- top notch service. Thank you for taking such good care of Mum, the attention to detail you paid particularly towards the end made the experience truly special for my family. On the day of the funeral everything went brilliantly smoothly and all the staff were friendly and calmly conducted from leaving Gresty’s to the burial. A big thank you to Paul especially who was so nice to us and treated us like a friend all throughout the process, and a massive thank you as well to all the lovely staff. You are a huge credit to the funeral directors industry!
