What Our Families Say About Us

Dear Harry and the team

Thank you so much for all the care, support and consideration you have shown us over this difficult period. You have made this so much easier to deal with.

Mum’s funeral went off without a hitch all down to your care. She would have been very happy on how the day went, even sending the rainbows to us.

L & S Launceston - September 2023

Thank you once again for all that you did for mum and thank you to all your team. We are so thankful she found you and know she was in safe hands.

J, K, S and Family Bridestowe - March 2023

Thanks so much for your lovely card, it was so thoughtful of you and we much appreciated your kind words. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without you last year, we are so lucky to have your fantastic service, you should have an award for being so kind and caring and going above and beyond the normal. We will be forever in your debt and you should be so proud of yourselves and the service you provide. Much love to you all from all of us.

C.V. Exeter - March 2021

Thank you so much for everything – you are amazing and we are incredibly thankful to you for your warmth, friendliness and compassion. I know my husband would also be very grateful knowing how much support you have given me throughout these challenging and emotional times.

L.M. Texas - January 2020

Dear Harry and all at G F Gubbin and Denise Wellington Funeral Services

Thank you all so much in being so wonderful at making the process of Colin’s funeral so easy and smooth on the day. For your patience and kindness, Mum was very comforted and appreciated the care taken at dressing Colin.

God Bless

R.W, D.B Launceston - December 2023

We can’t thank you enough for your care, kindness and understanding. What a difficult job it is you do. You certainly made the whole process so much easier for us – especially as we wanted to take mum-in-law back to Worcester, so it wasn’t that straightforward. You would have got along a treat with her, and it was a great comfort for us to know that she was in such good hands.

D. & P. G. Clawton - August 2017

Dear Denise, in appreciation of your kindness and professionalism, you have been so considerate and helpful. Right from when I first rang you, I knew we were in good hands, you gave us so much great advice too. Several people have told us that the funeral was the nicest they had ever attended. It all went so smoothly thanks to your organising. May we also thank your staff, they have all been amazing. Our Dad would have loved you I’m sure, we think you are awesome.

L.W. Stroud, Gloucestershire - December 2022

I would like to pass on our thanks from myself and my brother for a beautiful service that you provided for my mum. We could not have asked for a better send off. From start to finish you showed your professionalism and care with every detail of the service and it showed that it’s not just a business for you. So again, thank you to you and your staff for everything, from the bottom of our heart’s thank you.
