The funeral services of my parents are all handled by Abert & Meyer. Their services are very respectful and their attitudes are very good. I would like to thank all Albert & Meyer for their services again. Thank you.

I have had funerals arranged and conducted for both my father in 2008 and 4 weeks ago for my brother. The service at Albert and Meyer was nothing short of outstanding on both occasions. I was assisted in this process by Rebecca. The calm, caring and compassionate information provided was not only appropriate but so welcome at such a devastating time. Rebeccas personal touches via suggestions that she made, have had people who I had never previously met, that were friends of my brother, commenting on how fitting and appropriate his funeral was. These people were saying it was the best funeral

We are very thankful to Rebecca and the team at Albert and Meyer for ensuring we were able to give our darling son a beautiful and memorable send off. Rebecca showed us that anything we wanted, was possible and she made it happen for us. We are truly grateful for the kindness and compassion and the time Rebecca took to get to know us and find out what was really important to our family. Rebecca also made sure that we didn't miss out on anything, this is so important - and something I have not experienced with other funeral directors. Rebecca and her team at Albert and Meyer were amazing, they showed

Our family were very happy with the service planned and conducted by Albert & Meyer. It was organised at short notice following a traumatic death. Staff were helpful without being obsequious, they readily adapted their model to reflect the deceaseds character and wishes. The celebrant provided was a good fit and led proceedings well.
Costs were clearly laid out in advance, and pleasantly affordable compared to other funeral directors. I admit we did shop around. Some late tweaks and a final bit of paperwork well after the event were not a problem to them. One never looks forward

Many thanks to the team at Albert and Meyer for providing a lovely send off for my Dad. Everyone we dealt with were professional yet personal. It was so sad that all of the family couldn't be there, so we were so thankful for the live streaming, which was perfect. Thank you so very much for making the day special for all.
