"Faultless compassionate service. Excellent attention to detail. Have no hesitation in recommending."
— Janet Young
"When it came time to use them, they could not have taken better care of him, or our family. Simon took care of things and made it as stress free and easy for us as possible."
— Ali C (about Simon)
"Simon gently found out about Mum and then went through what was going to happen. He proceeded to organise everything apart from the flowers and the wake. Absolutely fantastic in a very hard time!"
— Theresa Freeman (about Simon)
"Jess made us feel that nothing was too much trouble and kept us informed of each step. She made this an experience free from any worries. I can't thank Jess enough for all her help at this sad time."
— Anne Hutton (about Jess)
"Without Jess' support and patience through the process I am not sure how we would have got through it. It's been one of the toughest few weeks that I can remember in my life."
— Skartplugg (about Jess)

Jess arranged my dad’s funeral and from start to finish she was compassionate, caring and professional. Jess and her team gave my dad exactly the funeral he wanted going out of their way to fulfill his additional wishes calmly and efficiently. Thank you Jess. I would most definitely recommend Robert Minns to anyone.

I found Jess at Robert Minns very compassionate and professional from start to finish. She made us very welcome and explained our options clearly and acted with great understanding. Jess made us feel that nothing was too much trouble and kept us informed of each step. She was always willing to answer any of our questions and made this an experience free from any worries. I can't thank Jess enough for all her help at this sad time. I would definitely recommend Robert Minns.

It's been one of the toughest few weeks that I can remember in my life and I can honestly say that without Jess' support and patience through the process I am not sure how we would have got through it. I cannot recommend Robert Minns enough for peace of mind. Thank you.

Brilliant service with kind and friendly staff! My Mum died recently and my Dad told us to use Robert Minns Funeral service. I was so glad we did. Simon has been a funeral director for years and the experience really helped. He gently found out about Mum and then went through what was going to happen and what needed to be organised. He then proceeded to organise everything apart from the flowers and the wake. Not only can I not recommend him highly enough, I will certainly be using his services again when my Dad dies and I hope my family will use him when I die. Absolutely fantastic in a very hard time!

Simon could not have been more helpful or more kind. Our father had taken care of his own funeral arrangements with Robert Minns Funeral Directors many years ago, and when it came time to use them, they could not have taken better care of him, or our family. Very professional, and nothing too much trouble for them, as they guided us through the logistics of planning and executing the funeral our Dad wanted. Simon took care of things and made it as stress free and easy for us as possible. Thoroughly recommend.
