We can’t thank Deb, Nicola and the whole team enough for their support and professionalism in such a difficult time . Deb and Nicola have been very compassionate, supportive and sensitive throughout the traumatic process and helped us give our mum the best send off we could have given her. Mum was in great hands during her time in their care. I can’t recommend them enough. They have been absolutely superb,

We're do I start....walking out of the hospital without your dad holding information for arranging a funeral was numbing but wanting the very best for your loved one is paramount. We chose banks as we had previous family members their and we had only heard lovely things. From the very first appointment Debbie treated us with compassion, comfort and care, just what we needed as a family who was broken. Debbie was clear and softly spoken when taking her time to go through everything we needed to know and gave us time to breathe and think when we needed it. Debbie makes the best cup off Yorkshire tea along with a comforting presence. My son of 7 visited his grandad with the support of Debbie making him calm and comforted along with myself , mum and brother she made us all feel so welcome and stayed professional but friendly at the same time. My dad was everything we wanted him to look like and this was down to the team at banks. We cannot thankyou enough for all your compassion, care, support and professionalism at one of our hardest times. I would recommend everyone to use banks if you would like the comfort of your loved one being in a caring environment with staff that go above and beyond , thankyou Carol, Stephanie-Jane, Andrew and family x

Would definitely recommmend R Banks & Son to anyone. Debbie at the Leigh branch was very kind and helped guide me through the process of arranging my mum's funeral. She was so kind and always had time to answer any questions.

Mum recently passed away. We contacted R Banks within 12 hours of Death and they were just outstanding Everything was arranged by Debs in Leigh and she was beyond impecable. She treated the death with the upmost dignity, treated mum with the respect she deserved while in rest and is currently holding the ashes until her burial with Dad is ready. For me there is no other funeral directors I would rather use. James

I cannot recommend R.Banks & Son Funerals highly enough. Deborah was so warm and friendly during the initial telephone conversation that I was immediately put at ease. Everything was organised so professionally and efficiently by Deborah who was always available to give advice and guidance. The kindness and compassion shown to family members was second to none and the fact that our loved one was so very well cared for was of great comfort to us all. I appreciated the home visit by Lynne to discuss the funeral day which again was done with such care and sensitivity, and organised to perfection. Thank you so much.

Highly recommended. Debbie at the Leigh branch is definitely in the right job, she is so compassionate, understanding and knowledgeable. From our first visit the day after Mum died and all the way through, Debbie has been there for us and helped us through a very difficult time. Nicola was there for us on the day of the funeral and Dave the driver who were both a great comfort.

Deborah has been absolutely amazing. From the minute we went in she was kind and courteous. She made a very difficult time that bit easier . She went above and beyond with every interaction. She looked after Dad and all of us. So very glad we chose Deborah to look after him on his final journey. All the arrangements done to perfection, even Janice and the drivers showed the upmost respect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I cannot fault Banks’s funeral service. They have been excellent at every stage from first being contacted to collecting our Mum to her being in the funeral home, to the church and on to the cemetery. Even the florist recommendation was excellent. The whole team have been amazing, knowing just what to say and offering guidance and reassurance. A special mention has to go to Deb who was with us every step of the way, including after the funeral. She could not do enough for us. Every family member has felt at ease and the way she looked after Mum was like a Queen. The whole experience allowed us to celebrate the wonderful life of our 102 years old Mum thanks to the professional team at Banks’s. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

This is the third time my family have used R Banks & Son Funerals on Railway Road in Leigh. Each time we’ve been made to feel so welcome by Deb, Alison and Lynne. The most recent time has been for my beautiful little mum. They made sure every little detail was thought through, looked after her so well, offered good advice and made it as special as it could possibly be. I couldn’t fault anything and would 100% recommend them. They are all such genuine people and as I wrote in their thank you card… they should be proud of the people they are, the job that they do and the difference they make to people’s lives and losses. ?

Could not recommend r banks and son highly enough, Deb at the leigh branch was absolutely amazing with her guidance and advice and really made our whole experience so much easier.

Thankyou Deb, you are amazing at what you do which certainly made me feel our loved one was still being cared for until it was time to say goodbye!x

Having never had to deal with organising a funeral before I am so glad we chose R Banks. From the initial contact with Lynne through to dealing with Deborah at the Leigh brach, their service was outstanding. They were so professional and listened to what we wanted. They also provided much needed emotional support throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend them.

Not the place anyone wants to visit. Deb from the Leigh office has now twice assisted me with the organising of a family funeral. No distance is too great or request too much. Never once felt pressured into making decisions . A service that you can rely on.
