What families say

"Toya was lovely, sympathetic and comforting. She made me feel so much better on the day and made sure I was ready for the worst time of my life. She was lovely to my daughter and comforted her too. I felt as though I had known them for a long time."

— josephine meager (about Toya)

"Steph you are amazing at what you do and there are not enough words to thank you. Can you thank Billy and his team, who were compassionate, respectful, kind and patient. And Billy for walking in the rain and getting soaked a million times."

— Tina Wenham (about Steph, Billy)

"On the day of the funeral the traffic was awful, Sharon got out of the hearse and cleared the traffic to allow us to pass. Sharon was amazing. The whole of the staff at Gillmans was great."

— Lynn Kelly (about Sharon)

"The two gentlemen who collected my mother from my home showed such compassion and respect it meant so much, we knew she was in good hands. The pallbearers each and everyone were incredible on the day."

— Eileen McBride (about Steph)

"She treated my great uncle with the utmost dignity and respect throughout the entire process, and that meant so much to me. Steph has truly been a star from start to finish, and I can't thank her enough for everything she has done. Your kindness, care, and support will never be forgotten."

— Love (about Steph)

"One of the most touching things was how they honoured my nan's favourite colour — green. The staff wore green ties, the horses were beautifully dressed with green feathers and drapes, and the carriage looked stunning. It was more than I could have hoped for and showed just how much they care about getting everything right, down to the smallest detail. Thanks to Gillman, I was able to give my nan the most precious send-off."

— Charlie Norval (about Steph, Suzie)

I've used Gillmans in Tooting twice this year. One was a cremation and other more recently a burial. Both occasions my loved ones passed away out of hours, 24/7 service so no bother with collection. I've nothing but huge praise to each and every member of the team. At such a difficult and highly emotional time they really make the process easy and painless. Nothing is too much bother, no strict deadlines to adhere too. "No problem, we'll sort that, don't you worry" said many times. We did our booklets through them, flowers ordered next door simple. Must mention Steph in the office thank you for everything, you are great at what you do. The two gentlemen who collected my mother from my home showed such compassion and respect it meant so much, we knew she was in good hands. Finally the pallbearers each and everyone were incredible on the day. Thank you all once again from all of the Lynch family

Bella was absolutely wonderful! We cannot thank her enough for her help, care and empathy when we needed to organise Den's funeral! Nothing was too much trouble! She went above and beyond - for which we are truly thankful! Indeed - all the staff at Gillmans were great!

Steph was absolutely amazing from the very first day I visited. She made an incredibly stressful and emotional experience much more bearable, and I’m so grateful to have had her support throughout. No question was ever left unanswered, and she guided me through every step with kindness, compassion, and professionalism during one of the most difficult times of my life. A heartfelt thank you to Steph, Bella and Sherren for all your care and support.

From the very beginning, Steph has been absolutely amazing. During one of the hardest times of my life, she has shown nothing but kindness, compassion, and professionalism. She treated my great uncle with the utmost dignity and respect throughout the entire process, and that meant so much to me. Steph was always patient, understanding, and willing to help with anything I needed, making an incredibly difficult time just that little bit easier. Steph has truly been a star from start to finish, and I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done. Your kindness, care, and support will never be forgotten. Thank you, Steph—you are a real credit to Gillman’s Funeral Home, and I will always appreciate your kindness and the compassion you showed throughout such a difficult time.
