"They dealt with our Dad's funeral back in 2007 and they were all so kind, caring and took the worry and concerns away from us, leaving us feeling reassured and respected. When Mum passed in 2023 we knew exactly who to call."
— Linda Quinn (about Gill)
"Nothing was ever too much for them — any questions or issues were easily sorted. Thank you for such a lovely funeral for my late dad. They were amazing."
— Rachael Berryman
"I liked the solemnity, seriousness and professionalism of Lucas and the other pall bearers and the way the whole funeral was conducted. It was certainly to a very high standard — I would certainly recommend B C Baker to anyone."
— Colin Mayo (about Lucas)
"Gill was our main contact who was brilliant with coordinating all the arrangements, giving advice and being compassionate and sensitive. Also the aftercare, when collecting my husband's ashes and returning his personal items, was very attentive and caring."
— Deirdre Fleury (about Gill)
"Gill was fantastic and explained everything, and the team were so supportive and caring, constantly making sure we were okay. You made us feel special and supported. Nothing was too much for you. I honestly can't express our gratitude enough."
— Michelle Wiggins (about Gill)
"She remembered Mum from Dads funeral so it felt very personal and it was like dealing with a close friend through the whole process. Myself and sister visited our Mum everyday at Bakers for 4 weeks and saw Gill every time and that was so reassuring and she always checked on Mum and said 'Yep, Mum still looks amazing, go on in'. I want to personally thank Gill, Luke and the rest of the team for your kindness, support and for all the hugs you gave us but more than anything, for looking after our wonderful Mum whilst she was in your care."
— Linda Quinn (about Gill)
