"They looked after my husband Mark and provided great support to me and my family and made a very difficult time a bit easier. They are highly professional with the family feel. Nothing was too much trouble."
— Carol Woodhall (about Jason)
"Both funerals were handled with incredible professionalism. The staff and cars were immaculate and the dignity with which my parents coffins were handled was exceptional."
— Gerry Olby (about Pat)
"When Mum & I met with Pat we were instantly put at ease with the conversation and hard questions. There was laughter and tears and also an openness from Pat about his own losses."
— Matt Ledger (about Pat)
"Reynolds still had records from our father's funeral 50 years earlier and could tell us where his ashes had been scattered, so we will be able to scatter our mother's ashes in the same place, as she requested. It felt very much like a family firm."
— Renata Dallaway
"I could not rate Reynolds highly enough. Wonderful people - especially Joe who looked after me and guided me through such a painful process with care and professionalism. I had complete confidence that my Mum was in the best hands and that her funeral would be perfect. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart."
— Katherine Jenkins (about Joe)
"Pat was always there, with a nod of appreciation, a wink of good luck and a hand of encouragement. Reynolds made a horrible experience bearable. Pat made it feel special & personal."
— Matt Ledger (about Pat)
