— Tracy Kirkham (about Trevor)

Well, where do I start! After my step dad passed away I contacted I Did It My Way, I have not had to deal with anything like this before so had no idea of what the process was. Trevor led me by the hand every step of the way from the outset right to after the funeral. All the team, including Sav were extremely professional and made a very difficult time so much easier. Even to the extent of bringing my step dads favourite flowers in from his own garden and giving all the attendants on the day a button hole to wear, I could go on because what they have done for our family was definitely above and beyond. Thankyou Trevor and the team, George would’ve been immensely proud of you all! We all as a family HIGHLY recommend I DID IT MY WAY ❤️

I Did It My Way was recommended to me for my Aunts funeral. Trevor and his team took care of everything in a very professional and dignified manner. Everything was just as we wanted it to be on the day of the service. Kate took great pains to deliver a service that was appreciated by everyone. Many thanks to all. I will have no hesitation in recommending the company in future. David Hawley.

My lovely mum passed away recently and Trevor and his team did a magnificent job of handling all aspects of her funeral. From my first conversation with Trevor, their care, compassion and professionalism was beyond doubt and I knew I was in safe hands. Nothing was too much trouble. On the day of mum’s funeral, Sheffield was brought to a standstill by heavy snow and it was touch and go as to whether her funeral could go ahead. Trevor and his team pulled out all the stops to make sure it did and it went like clockwork and was truly beautifully done. My family and I are immensely grateful for everything they did for us.

I would like to thank Trevor & his team for giving my mum a great send off. He was so helpful and respectful. The whole day went like clockwork. I would also like to publicly thank Kate for a great service. Everyone attending said how wonderful the Eulogy was & how it was delivered. This is the first time I had to organise a funeral & Trevor helped me out all the way. Many thanks!
