"From the first time we met with Sarah and the team, to the day of the funeral and cremation, they made a sad and difficult time so much easier. They took care of everything and were always at the end of the phone for help and advice. My mum had a perfect send off and we could not have done that without the amazing team at Stamps."
— Ashley Bale (about Sarah)
"What I didn't want was anything too formal and impersonal, what I received was more than I could ever have wished for. I will be always grateful. The benefit of using a family firm over a large firm shone through for me. Thank you the whole Stamp family, what you did mattered."
— Iz Sh
"Taylor led and guided us through all the decisions that needed to be made, quietly and humbly, but sincerely and gently, responding helpfully to every email and phone call, always pointing us in the direction we needed to go. I never felt pressured despite the fact that decisions have to be made pretty quickly."
— Katy Mcveigh (about Taylor)
"From mum being collected by two ladies, which gave me so much comfort, to the wonderful Sarah M who supported me through the planning. Anything I wanted was sorted without fuss. On the day Johnathan and his fabulous team arrived immaculate, bang on time and in the beautiful bright ties I'd asked for. It made me cry in a good way."
— Iz Sh (about Sarah M)
"Wearing pink ties, which was a choice we could make, they were so reverent. It somehow made it all seem absolutely ok on the day. Watching your little sister being carried in a coffin is not something you ever imagine. But in that moment, it felt as if everything had aligned to create a perfect way of celebrating her and saying goodbye."
— Katy Mcveigh (about David Stamp)
"I have been to other funerals. This was the first funeral of a close family member. It is a day that will stay with me forever, not for sad reasons, but because together we created something so uplifting and yet intimate, that I know in my heart we got it exactly right for her. A business that can help you to do that, is a business worth using."
— Katy Mcveigh (about Taylor)
