"Thank you for being such an amazing funeral director. Your kindness, compassion, and genuine care made a very difficult time so much easier for my family and me. You are truly a beautiful soul, and I will always be grateful."
— Kelly McNally
"My Dad's arrangements were not straightforward as he requested to be buried in Ireland, but Dan looked after all the extra arrangements this required and kept us informed and consulted with us at every stage. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
— David Dunne (about Dan)
"Dan is outstanding — he had such a personal, compassionate correspondence and touch with us as a family. A true testament to their work is down to the fact that everyone who attended my father's funeral commented on how great it was and how everything was perfect. Me and my sister were filled with pride that we did right by choosing Arthur Gresty."
— Thomas Sandiford (about Dan)
"The care and compassion shown to us as a family meant we knew we had chosen the right person to look after our mum. Steph went above and beyond for us and made a very difficult time that bit more bearable."
— leah Staniec (about Steph)
"We immediately felt like you were more than just a service. You were there on hand through the darkest of times, guiding and supporting us, being there for each and every one of us whatever the day or time. Mums final day was touching from the start to the very end — it ran so smoothly it was perfection. You helped us express what a truly adored, wonderful and very much loved woman we were laying to rest."
— Rachel Tulsie (about Dan)
"I honestly can't put into words how grateful I am for Steph and everyone at Wythenshawe Funeral Services. It was my first time ever visiting someone in the chapel of rest, and I was so nervous — I didn't know what to expect, and I was scared of how I'd feel. But from the moment I walked in, Steph was amazing. When I finally went in to see my nan, I just stood there in awe. She looked so peaceful, so beautiful, like she was simply resting. Steph turned something I was dreading into something I'll always be thankful for. She made it a moment of peace instead of pain."
— Grace McGlone (about Steph)

I honestly can’t put into words how grateful I am for Steph and everyone at Wythenshawe Funeral Services. Last October, Steph looked after my nan, and she made what I thought would be one of the hardest days of my life feel calm, gentle, and full of love. It was my first time ever visiting someone in the chapel of rest, and I was so nervous — I didn’t know what to expect, and I was scared of how I’d feel. But from the moment I walked in, Steph was amazing. She spoke to me so kindly and reassured me that everything would be okay. She told me to take my time, not to rush, and that meant more than she’ll ever know. When I finally went in to see my nan, I just stood there in awe. She looked so peaceful, so beautiful, like she was simply resting. I could tell that Steph had taken such gentle care of her — every little detail was perfect. It brought me so much comfort to see her like that, and it’s something I’ll carry with me forever. Steph turned something I was dreading into something I’ll always be thankful for. She made it a moment of peace instead of pain. I’ll never forget her kindness, her patience, and the way she made me feel truly looked after during such an emotional time. Thank you so much, Steph — and thank you, Wythenshawe Funeral Services, for treating my nan and my family with such genuine care and compassion. You really are something special❤️

I would sincerely like to thank everyone for their brilliant service when my mum passed in April. We couldn't have chosen a better company. The staff were so helpful and were always there to help if we had any questions. Steph was amazing, she is so caring and goes above and beyond to help with anything. Thank you all again. X

I can't express how thankful me and my family are for Steph in helping us with all the arrangements for my mum's funeral. Steph went above and beyond for us and made a very difficult time that bit more bearable. The care and compassion she shown us as a family we knew we had chosen the right person to look after our mum. We would also like to thank the team that looked after us on the day they were compassionate, professional nothing was too much for them thank you.
