In light of the recent news reports involving another local funeral director, we want to pause and reaffirm what truly matters: the respectful, gentle care of your loved ones.
At R Banks, we understand how deeply important it is to know that those you cherish are looked after with dignity. This is why we treat every loved one as though they were part of our own family.
Our team, many of whom have been with us for decades — with over 100 years of combined service — take pride in upholding the highest standards in funeral care. We carry out regular checks and continuous training to ensure we not only meet, but exceed, the expectations of the families who place their trust in us.
The recent stories in the press are heartbreaking, and our thoughts are with those affected. Moments like these remind us why our commitment to compassion, integrity, and transparency must remain unwavering.
We also want to make it absolutely clear that the funeral home named in the article has no affiliation whatsoever with R Banks. We are sharing public news only to reassure the families we care for and to reiterate our dedication to providing the highest level of service.
R Banks has long been a trusted, well-established family business, and we will continue to honour that responsibility every single day.
