"Lesley Kunzler was particularly compassionate and at no time put pressure on me to decide what I wanted. Amanda Catchpole was very helpful in sorting out an urn for my wife's ashes and informing me of my options for interment."
— Roscoe Tanner (about Lesley Kunzler)
"I cannot put into words how beautifully everything was carried out, from the moment they took them into their care right up until the burial/cremation. Compassion and passion in spades from all of the staff."
— Katie Moore
"Nothing was too much trouble and we can't praise her and the other staff members enough. We were never made to feel rushed and it felt like a weight off our shoulders leaving it in her hands."
— RICHS1969S (about Alison)
"Amanda, and the team, provided exceptional service during a particularly tragic time. Their care and kindness towards us as clients, as well as towards my father (the deceased) went above and beyond; making a particularly challenging situation more manageable. I will never be able to thank you all enough."
— N Gardiner (about Amanda)
"Just five minutes before the funeral service, Paul organised for myself and my two sons to be pallbearers for my mum's coffin, after we had a last-minute change of mind. Rest assured in your time of need; you will be in extremely safe hands."
— Neil Carter (about Paul)
"Lost my son rowan at 40weeks stillborn. Had the pleasure of having Paul to help with my sons last resting place. The whole team were amazing, looked after my boy and was so respectful, always there when needed. The most caring, honest team ever, passionate and highly professional, making us feel at ease, also having a giggle with them. Cannot recommend them enough."
— Sarah Butler (about Paul)

The compassion, empathy, professionalism, and support from Paul and the team at Michael Gamble were invaluable. All aspects and options are clearly explained. We chose Patsy Gamble, as the celebrant; she was amazing and delivered exactly as per our instructions and wishes, a heartfelt personal service. Just five minutes before the funeral service, Paul organised for myself and my two sons to be pallbearers for my mum’s coffin, after we had a last-minute change of mind. THANK YOU. Rest assured in your time of need; you will be in extremely safe hands. Thank you once again.

We were extremely pleased with the way that Paul and his team managed the funeral of my late aunt. Everything was clearly explained at all parts of the process, the staff were always very kind and sensitive, the Order of Service was beautifully produced and the funeral itself was just the kind of celebration that my aunt told us that she wanted. Many thanks once again to everyone involved!

From the initial phone call made we were treated with compassion and understanding. Alison came to the house and dealt with the funeral arrangements for us. Nothing was too much trouble and we can’t praise her and the other staff members that we dealt with enough. We were never made to feel rushed and it felt like a weight off our shoulders leaving it in her hands. Can’t thank everybody enough for helping a difficult time run smoothly.

Amanda, and the team, provided exceptional service during a particularly tragic time. Their care and kindness towards us as clients, as well as towards my father (the deceased) went above and beyond; making a particularly challenging situation more manageable. I will never be able to thank you all enough for the service you provided to me and my family.
