I just wanted to write, albeit rather belatedly, to thank you especially, but also your team, for looking after our family leading up to and during the day of my Father’s funeral. We were very impressed from the moment we first met with your respectful and empathetic manner, which helped my Mother and us boys during a very difficult time. We appreciated all of your joint expertise on the day, the impeccable timing, the beautiful conduct and handling of our Father’s coffin and all the hundreds of details which you organised and mostly hidden to us. My family were very appreciative of your walking in front of the hearse at the start and end of each part of the journeys, and in your bowing in respect. We were not expecting this, but it was a lovely part of the process. Thank you very much for your whole service. You certainly made a tough day as smooth and as easy as it could be in the circumstances.

On behalf of my sisters, I want to say a sincere thank you for everything you and your colleagues have done for us. The passing away of a dear Mum, is one of the hardest times in anyone’s life, but to have had the kindness and thoughtfulness of yourself and your colleagues has been a great support to us. Your understanding and the professional manner in which everything has been conducted has given us the reassurance that we did our very best for Mum, right to the end. I have spoken with others who have also used your service and we all feel that you personally make a big difference, during the time of great sorrow.

On behalf of the family, I felt I had to write to thank you for the exceptional care and professionalism we have experienced from Gumerys over the past few weeks. Dad meant the world to us and with your help we were able to give him the “Send Off” he truly deserved. Some jobs are jobs, some are vocations. Yours is a vocation. From the first meeting with yourself to the collecting the donation box after the service, I felt your sympathetic care and understanding, your willingness to listen and advise on what may have been trivial issues have helped me greatly over a difficult few weeks. Nothing has been too much trouble for you. On behalf of all the family – our grateful thanks. Do pass on best wishes to all the staff who looked after Dad in any way over the time he was with yourselves. It has been such a comfort to know that he has been in safe hands. You have been a great ambassador for Gumerys. Thank you so much.

I am sincerely grateful for the care, compassion, respect and love you have shown (along with a tinge of humour) Mum would have greatly approved.

I would just like to tell you that my Father’s death has been the first that I have ever had to deal with on my own, and you, with your great efficiency, professional behaviour and, even more importantly, pleasant and caring manner, made the whole experience of organising his funeral and cremation etc. considerably easier than I had anticipated. I would like to give you my sincere thanks and convey to you that I would recommend you and your company to anyone who has to deal with the death of a loved one.

I want to thank you formally for the excellent service you have provided from the moment I got in touch with E J Gumery & Son. Like many people you meet, I imagine, when we first met I was in a state of severe grief and shock following the sudden and unexpected death of my husband. You were calm and kind, and very quickly understood the kind of person he was and the type of service we wanted. You listened carefully, reassured me you could get the music I wanted to have, and used your expertise to make suggestions at various points. I was particularly impressed by the way you carefully considered who would be the best celebrant for us. Your suggestion was perfect – she had the manner, humour and intelligence I greatly needed at this dreadful time. Each time I called you after that with a long list of questions and worries you were patient and helpful and never made me feel as if my contact was a nuisance. The funeral was conducted impeccably from start to finish. Thank you so much for your excellent work at each stage of the process. It made something unbearable into something that I could actually get through.

Just a short note to thank you and your team for organising mother’s funeral. The experience and professionalism of your firm was evident from start to finish and whilst I appreciate that your Company undertake funerals on a daily basis, you made ‘our’ funeral very special.  Your calm, efficient organisation ensured that everything was taken care of, even things that we hadn’t thought about and your personal approach was very reassuring.  The funeral itself was directed with impeccable dignity and I was particularly impressed by the respectful professionalism of the pall bearers.  Not only did they do a wonderful job during the church service but also, at the crematorium, I found it very moving when they took up their station, at the four corners of the coffin prior to the commencement of the ceremony.  Please pass on our thanks to the whole team and a special thank you for your kindness and compassion.

Everyone we came in contact with in the organisation treated us with utmost care and consideration which we greatly appreciated as we were travelling back and forth to Worcester from Birmingham to put affairs into place. Nothing was too much trouble and you assisted us with excellent advice and courtesy.  The funeral was excellent due to your organisation and attention to detail.  We had never experienced such dedication from any funeral director for any of our family previously.  We express our sincere thanks to you and all at E J Gumery.

On behalf of all the family I would like to thank you all for the professional way in which you conducted my father’s funeral. Without doubt you ensured that everything went organised in the exact way that the family wanted and as a result the day was one of which Dad would have been pleased, as we all were.  The day could not have been better and we will all remember your contribution in ensuring that this was the case.

On behalf of the family, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the outstanding services provided. Your advice and support was greatly appreciated.  Also, we would like to give special thanks for going above and beyond the expectations of the family.  All our wishes and concerns were taken care of in a professional and friendly manner and without your support this could not have been accomplished.

May I thank you and your team for everything you did, I was thoroughly impressed, you handled it beautifully, as one would expect. 10/10 for everything from communication, thoughtfulness, sincerity, making sure that the stress levels already high, were not aggravated at all. Throughout the whole process I was at ease with your professionalism.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to you for the care, compassion and professionalism you have showed us before, during and after our Mother’s funeral, nothing was too much trouble. You have made a very difficult time much easier to bear.

I would like to express my thanks to everyone who supported us with Dad on his recent passing. The compassion you have shown Mum and the family has been lovely, also the bespoke casket was absolutely amazing so thank you again!  (July, 2017)

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all so much for a job very well done. Your performance was exemplary, culminating in a day that ran like clockwork, very befitting for my ageing Aunt.  We could not have asked for better.  (July, 2017)

To all at Gumerys who were so kind, caring, thoughtful and available at a moment’s notice for the wonderful service you gave to all of us….. You were brilliant! We felt so comfortable and relaxed in all our dealings with you & I know my Mum would have been so impressed with the wonderful and caring “send off” you gave her….  (August, 2017)

I wanted to take this time to thank everyone else at E J Gumery & Son who looked after my Mum and who also took the time to support us through this very sad time. To be honest this was the first funeral arrangements I’d ever had to organise and it was overwhelming at times.  I am so pleased we chose E J Gumery & Son.  I was so happy that my Mum was with you, I felt comfortable that she was well looked after at all times.  You were extremely professional, calm and understanding at all times and couldn’t have been more helpful and supportive to us all as a family, thank you. Most importantly of all was your kindness.  I am so grateful to you for guiding us through a very sad and unexpected event.  (August, 2017)

We would like to pass on a sincerest ‘thank you’ for easing our worries as best you could and organising the funeral so expertly.

You dealt with everything with such dignity and compassion throughout, from the first time you came to the house, guiding us through the actual arrangements and on the day of the funeral.  My mother appreciated the way you looked after her at such a difficult time, and I was so thankful  for your guidance.  You and all your staff were so kind and professional, and one of our relations commented on how smartly dressed you all were.  Your service was excellent.  Thank you once again.  (October, 2017)

On behalf of the family I would like to say a very big thank you for all the arrangements provided for the funeral of my late father. Everyone has treated us with respect, professionalism & kindness at all times and showed Dad dignity, tending to his body, making him look smart – as he always liked to be, when he could no longer do it for himself.  Every step of the way you have maintained such high standards, thank you sounds hardly adequate to show our appreciation for the care and compassion you have shown to us all.  Your help and reliability all the way through eased the process for us and made the day of the funeral somehow easier to bear.  (April, 2018)
