R Banks of Atherton was always going to be our first choice of funeral director as an independent family firm. My Mum, Mary attended the church where the funeral home now is for over 40 years so we felt this was a fitting tribute for her final journey and to celebrate her life. The "Jesus chapel " was perfect where we were able to sit with Mum as often as we wished before the funeral. Mum even had a cup of tea to go with her . We were encouraged to share photos, her Bible and letters to accompany her . Lynne, Gemma and Lisa couldn't do enough to help us . They demonstrated sympathetic attent

Arranging a funeral is never the easiest in any circumstances. We have used this company twice with in the last year and I cannot speak highly enough of how they support, arrange and carryout the task. Lynne is an absolute brilliant funeral director she really does help you deal with coming to terms with the loss of a loved one. Thank you for your support to Lynne and her team.

We recently used them for my mum and I am so glad we did.From start to finish they were extremely helpful, kind and friendly.The funeral was exactly how we wanted it , they guided us through the process and made a very difficult time for us easier. Lisa was the main one I dealt with she is a credit to your company. Thank you
