My father, sister and I would like to thank Oliver and the other staff for all their help and support arranging my late mother's funeral.

Oliver found us a Celebrant who was excellent and made the service very personal, just what Mum would have wanted. Thank you.

R Davies Funeral directors could not have been more helpful with the funeral for my mother, it was much easier than I had expected, they were understanding and extremely professional.

I would like to thank and fully recommend the service provided by the team at R Davies and Son, Gloucester Road for the funeral or our beloved Mum. And indeed, the service provided for our beloved Dad’s funeral 11 months earlier during pandemic restrictions. Catherine and team managed all the arrangements leading up to and the day of the funeral in a sympathetic, professional manner, keeping us updated ensuring all our requests including a few last-minute changes were all taken care off without any fuss. A safe, trusted pair of hands is required at a time like this, thank you Catherine, Oliver and team.
