G. Roberts Independent Family Funeral Director

We are proud to announce a special community event taking place this March.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on so many lives and, heartbreakingly, took so many from us. We recognise that many families were unable to say goodbye in the traditional way or hold the funerals and gatherings they would have wished for.

With this in mind, we have partnered with local community businesses and groups to bring people together for a meaningful event of remembrance, reflection and support. More details coming soon — we look forward to sharing this special occasion with our community.

I can still hear my dad saying, “People think funeral directors just get dressed up in suits and drive around in big cars all day.”

The reality isn’t always quite so polished! With all this extremely wet weather, our newest uniform addition — company wellies — has been more than useful. 🌧️

It’s all part of the job, whatever the weather.

Remembering Christine today on what would have been her birthday.

Her humour, forthright manner and independence is missed by us all on a daily basis.
