Gemma and her team were really excellent at a time when I had just experienced a most traumatic and sudden loss. I was going through an exceptionally difficult time during Covid restrictions. Having never been in the position to have to organise a funeral I was thrown in at the deep end and having called around a few places I found AJ Brooke to be the most compassionate, professional and helpful. They assisted me in navigating my way. It is difficult to recommend a funeral director as no one ever likes to deal with such matters but if you are ever placed in a situation where you need a funeral

From the moment we walked in the door and was greeted by Liz who shortly passed me over to Gemma I felt welcomed and consoled after the loss of my mother. Gemma was incredible from the start and helped us through the process and gave me information and her number before I had even confirmed we were going to use them! I message Gemma and Liz regularly until the day of the funeral and always got a quick detailed response. I couldn't fault AJ Brooke, they were so professional and respectful on the day, including all of the staff they use for drivers etc. Mum was well looked after and I honestly couldn

Several weeks have passed since I lost my mother, and Gemma and her staff were outstanding and so respectful from start to finish . Firstly the communication at the start regarding all the arrangements offering her help and advice was amazing. On the funeral I could not have wished for anymore for my mother. Not only was everything planned , Gemma and staff were dressed immaculate in full funeral attire and whilst I’ve attended many funerals in the past , This lady outshone any I’ve been to. Although it was difficult with social distancing, Gemma and her team made myself and my partner feel

At what was a very difficult time, Gemma was a pleasure to meet with and instantly lifted a weight off of our shoulders. She was warm & friendly and helped us to plan a beautiful service for our Dad that met his and our requirements. Nothing was too much trouble for Gemma- even answering late night questions on WhatsApp! On the day, Gemma and the pull-bearers were smart and professional and she ensured the day went smoothly. Thank you!!

We were pleased that my late husband was made to look so nice and peaceful, especially
as we had to wait two weeks, before a funeral slot became available.
We were asked if we wanted soil or petals, to throw into the grave - we opted for petals,
BUT WASN'T informed that we had to supply them. We had to throw sand/stones that had
been dug up. So I would say to Gemma,,,,,,,I hope this has now been rectified.
The office was often closed, other people said the same.
I cannot forgive Gemma and her husband, for blaming me for breaking the headstone, we
purchased from them. I was told 'You

We recently used A J Brooke after my mum died as they were recommended by a friend and (despite the circumstances) I'm so glad we did. Gemma was great at explaining the choices available and was keen to ensure that the service was exactly what we wanted.
There was never any pressure to upgrade or buy extras we didn't need or want, which I really appreciated (especially at a time when you just want to keep things simple and straightforward), and the service was extremely professional, respectful, and as good as it could be.
Gemma also put us in touch with a Humanist Celebrant, Clare Grove
