Reviews for Ginns & Gutteridge Funeral Directors in Leicester
Our funeral service arranger, was very caring and helpful . She guided us through a very personal traumatic time nothing was too much trouble.
If I was asked if I knew of a funeral firm I would highly recommend W. Heighten & Son they have been very professional and at the same time making our journey personal to us.

At such a difficult time for my family, the service we were given by everyone on behalf of W Heighton was so caring and personal. My mothers funeral was carried out with such thought and kindness, I would like to thank everyone involved, especially Imogen and Maggie.

The while process is stressful but the staff and company make it as simple as it can be. They talk you through options and what's normal and are very considerate to your family needs.

From Jane who took the first call after Auntie had died, to Sally who dealt admirably and meticulously with all the local, detailed arrangements at the Oadby office, nothing was too much trouble. The open invitation to 'ring us if you want to know more, or think of anything we haven't covered' was sincerely meant, and gave me a feeling of confidence throughout the process. The whole journey throughout was seamless and faultless. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Response from Ginns & Gutteridge
