The service and care by Gateway Funerals was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble, even when we change the time of my mum’s funeral.
We would phone at anytime with our questions, for peace of mind, always a friendly and very helpful voice on the phone, no matter who answered.
Martine was the Angel at Gateway who looked after our family during this very sad time, with the loss of our Matriarch, Mary Reid, beloved wife to Robert and Mum to Karen and Steven, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
We could not recommend Gateway Funerals highly enough!
