"Losing someone you love is never easy, but Deb and the team at R Banks made a very hard time feel a whole lot lighter, twice. We are deeply thankful for their support and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family needing compassionate, reliable care."
— Rachel Smedley (about Deb)
"They even allowed me to decorate Dad's coffin with Ozzy and Black Sabbath. The service was second to none, they went above and beyond."
— Kerrys Krafts (about Deb)
"From the first moment of meeting her we knew that she was the right person to finish all the final details. We instantly felt at ease. There was so much laughter throughout the service — which is what we wanted."
— Gail (about Deb)
"From the first appointment with Deb I felt a weight lifted off — the way she explained the process and how my grandad would be treated in their care made us feel a whole lot lighter, giving us the additional time to grieve."
— Rachel Smedley (about Deb)
"My uncle was extremely touched by this and at the time was also dealing with his own terminal diagnosis, he called me up and asked if I would make him an appointment with Deb to arrange his own upcoming funeral — even the fact he lived in Atherton he was adamant he wanted to be cared for by Deb and the team."
— Rachel Smedley (about Deb)
"Deb had taken extra care of my son from his first day of rest to his last. Deb had went over and beyond to make sure my son looked his absolute best every single day. Deb has truly been amazing throughout and has been our tower of strength with her professional and profound, dignified manner."
— Annmarie Goddard (about Deb)
