"We have attended a funeral service run by another funeral director since we used Ginns and Gutteridge and the chapel service was not a patch on the one Ginns and Gutteridge delivered. The service provided was exceptional."
— Michael Gilroy
"I felt at ease immediately. I was arranging things whilst living away from Leicester and the team were fantastic. I never felt rushed when discussing things with them. I cannot thank everyone enough for the effort, care, communication and compassion they showed me and my family."
— Feyi Taiwo (about Rosie)
"My Thanks to Ginns and Gutteridge and especially Helen who looked after us with care, compassion and patience and guided us through a most difficult time. The last great thing you can do for a loved one is the send off they would like and without doubt, Ginns and Gutteridge facilitated every part of the process with complete professionalism."
— Malcolm Cooper (about Helen)
"On the day of the funeral, Maggie and her team were amazing. Maggie spoke to me beforehand and gave me a detailed run down of the day. She was calm but direct. I knew she would make sure everything went according to our plans and together with her team, she made sure of it."
— Feyi Taiwo (about Maggie)
"Nothing short of perfect. From first contact the whole funeral was just what we as a family asked for. All the pall bearers and drivers made his last trip beautiful. As the family came together for Paul's wake, they all commented about the wonderful treatment we all received."
— Marion Donati (about Billy)
"My contact with Ian was truly amazing. He was going to dress my father in traditional clothes and Ian filled me with confidence as he listened to my directions. When I came with my mother to view my father in the chapel of rest, it was so emotional. Ian had managed to get everything perfect. My father looked so grand ready for his send off."
— Feyi Taiwo (about Ian)
