Our family have used Drakes twice in the last13 years. I am pleased to say our recent experience was as good as the first time.
Stuart and his team helped use through the process with calm and sureness. Stuart listened to what we wanted, gave advice and recommended an ideal celebrant in Chas. The funeral pamphlet was above what we expected and well presented.
Their support during the service was thoughtful and unobtrusive.

I’ve used Drake’s several times over the years and they are outstanding. Always very professional,friendly and approachable. Nothing is too much trouble and Stuart was a huge help and supportive. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Drake’s.

This is my second time using Drakes following the death of my mother. I have nothing but praise and respect how I and my family were treated from the first telephone conversation until the end of the service.
