We cannot thank R. Banks & Son Funerals at the Leigh Branch enough for the beautiful service they provided to give our Grandma the send off she truly deserved.
From the very beginning, Deb and Maxine went above and beyond for our family. They made us feel so welcome every single time we visited and treated our Grandma with the utmost care, dignity and respect. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their kindness and compassion meant more to us than words can say during such a difficult time.
One of the most touching details was how they included my Grandma’s favourite thing — playing bingo —

Debs at the leigh branch was amazing with how she helped us plan the day. How attentive she was to preparing Dad and caring for him. The service was second to none, they went above and beyond. Even allowed me to decorate Dad's coffin with Ozzy and Black Sabbath ( I can decorate any style for others if you contact Debs). The whole team on the day was amazing! We can not thank enough xx

Thanks to Deborah, Alison, Lynn and the rest of the team at R Banks. Through what was a very challenging and emotional time, they were able to execute my grandads day to perfection. At every step of the way I felt supported, even when I was facing difficulty and for a short while I didn’t think I was going to be able to go through with his funeral. They have been so accommodating and supportive from the first day and beyond. They ensured that my grandad had the send off he truly deserved. Please do not hesitate to utilise their services as you will not regret your decision!! Thank you again to

We were extremely pleased with the service provided. Everything was handled with care, compassion, and professionalism from start to finish. Deborah was especially wonderful—supportive, attentive, and reassuring throughout the entire process. The day went exactly to plan, which gave us great comfort, and we felt that my dad was given a truly fitting and respectful send-off. We would highly recommend their services to anyone needing support at such a difficult time. Many thanks to everyone at R Banks & Sons Leigh

Well R. Banks & Son, well what a fantastic funeral home this is.
My father in law prepaid for his funeral so a lot but not all the organising was already done. Spoke to Deb to make appointment to go in.
From the first moment of meeting her we knew that she was the right person to finish all the final details. We instantly felt at ease. We talked the final touches that we wanted with Deb. Well she came up with some fantastic ideas after hearing stories about R Len.
She recommended the perfect celebrant for what we asked for. We wanted a celebration and that what we got. There was so much laugh
