  • When a loved-one passes away, the family/relatives left behind hope the funeral director will demonstrate 3 things: 1) care/respect for the deceased person right up to the day of the funeral service. 2) support for the family who are organising the funeral, 3) a professional conduct. I can honestly say that Ginns & Gutteridge (Vaughan way, Leicester) demonstrated all 3 qualities in equal amounts. A special mention goes for Zoe Alexander (Funeral Service Arranger), whose caring attitude helped me to cope through a very difficult time. On behalf of myself and my immediate family, THANK YOU!

    • Response from Ginns & Gutteridge

      I am pleased that we provided the highest level of care and guidance for you and your family. It means a great deal when people take the time to share their experience and to highlight individuals in the team who have made a difference. Your kind words mean a great deal to the team who always work very hard to deliver great care.

  • The Name Gunn’s & Gutterridge has been around in Leicester since before I was born, I am now nearly 68 years old. I always remember as a kids on our street when people passed away and everyone drew their curtains “Call Gunns & Gutteridge’. When my twin brother died in March 2021 it became instinct to look up Ginns & Gutterridge it wasn’t until plans for the funeral we’re well unway that I twigged they were now under the umbrella of ‘Dignity’. Anything against the norm gets me a bit jittery but there was no need, they did us really proud and deserve the five stars we have given them. We’d be more than happy when we have to draw our curtains to give the them a call again. Little did we know how soon that call would been, on January 6th my younger brother passed peacefully away in his sleep and for the second time in less than a year we telephoned ‘Ginns & Gutterridge’. No we didn’t we telephoned ‘Dignity’ and I realise just why they use this as their company name. Again every thing they did was done in a dignified way and we were treated with the utmost respect and compassion. Thank you to every involved - but a special thank you to Billy who was our first point of contact for both funerals and saw them through from beginning to end.
