— ingrida l (about Lee)
"From the first contact Lee was compassionate, understanding we were going through a difficult time. He listened to our requirements and delivered them exactly as we asked."
— Denise Woodhouse (about Lee)
"Everyone who attended commented on Garton's and Helen's beautiful handling and respectful delivery of the service and eulogy. At a time of sorrow and grief we can strongly recommend Garton's to arrange and deliver a thoroughly professional, sensitive and beautiful service."

"All of the staff were wonderful, with a special mention to Lee and Helen, who went above and beyond for us. From the very first day, the whole team greeted us with genuine warmth and created a caring, family atmosphere at what was an incredibly difficult time."

"They showed great respect to our family and, most importantly, looked after our wonderful mum with such care and love. We felt supported every step of the way and could not have asked for better people to guide us through this."

"Lee personally handled everything with so much kindness, understanding and support that it made the whole process less scary."
