Shires Funeral Directors

My grandad ‘Franco’ was recently looked after by Shires. Beth and Hannah have been amazing at looking after grandad and the rest of the family. Beth showed great support during arrangements and handled everyone with care and respect. Beth - you made that whole thing so much easier for all of us. Thank you for doing everything to ensure the best day, you really did go above and beyond for us and we appreciate it so much. Thank you for your kindness and compassion I’ll never forget it. Our chapel visits were as lovely as they could be. Clean and calm environment for us. Special thanks to the embalmer & team for preparing grandad, he really did still look like himself I cannot thank you all enough. On the day of the funeral everything was in order we didn’t have to worry about anything. The funeral director John as always is just the best. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to lead the day. John - thank you for everything you have done and continue to do. You really are one in a million.

I just want to say a huge thank you to Bethany, Hannah and John during such a difficult and emotional time. Bethany was absolutely incredible – so kind, helpful and understanding throughout the whole process. She really took the time to listen, showed genuine care, and made us feel supported every step of the way, which meant more than words can say. Hannah was also amazing. She was so supportive, caring and reassuring, and helped make everything feel more manageable for us. Both their kindness and compassion really stood out and meant so much to our family. John was brilliant on the day of the funeral. He made sure everything ran smoothly and handled every detail with professionalism and care. His calm and respectful approach helped make the day feel special and meaningful for our family. We are so grateful for all their support, compassion and dedication. They all made a very hard time a little easier, and we truly appreciate everything they did for us.

First Class service at such a sad time with my mother’s passing. Beth and Hannah are the best and John leading the day of Mums funeral. She had the best send off and all she would have wanted. Thank you Shires for making a sad time a time of reflection and carrying me through all I had to do. Being patient and kind. Can’t thank you all enough.

What can I say. Hannah is the most amazing person , so calm so genuinely caring and empathetic. She really is and put all my daughters and sons and myself at total ease. Her professional approach yet sympathetic and understanding was really unexpected and a real tribute to my wife Sandra. Nothing was too much and along with Beth and John they answered all our questions and requests carried out 💯. Losing my wife of 43 years was in itself so difficult but the fantastic service from Shire’s made it all a little more bearable. This is the second time we have used Shires and wouldn’t hesitate to use them in the future. To find people in a company of any sort that become friends is a rarity in this day and age but the team at Shires are that. Well done and thank you Hannah and the team Roger & Family x

I cannot praise enough the team at The Shires in Luton who helped my family for the funeral of our mother. Beth and Hannah showed us great care, compassion, consideration and thoughtfulness throughout the time of preparation for the funeral, giving us helpful advice for decisions to be made and always being ready to answer any questions we had. Visits to see Mum were accommodated generously and made so easy. On the day of the funeral, John led his team with great professionalism and at the same time with obvious kindness towards us all. We felt they took care of Mum and of us all. As a family, we highly recommend The Shires. Many thanks to you all 🙏
