Sadly my father passed on the 3/12/18 and Gillivers Funeral Directors were recommended to me. They were so respectful and kind throughout and my Fathers funeral was perfect. During tragic and stressful times it’s so good to know that there is a company to guide you through the process. Thank you so much. Su North-Bond
