Highly professional and compassionate service, well organised and efficient. Central to a seamless service for Mum. Thank you Mark, Pippa, Gavin, Tom and the team.
The loss of a loved one is something that can not be described..The team at Charles Stephens surrounded the family with love, care and support. Richard Brady was with us every step of the way.He was reassuring, professional and ensured that all our wishes were made possible. Thank you for all you did for us and our Mum on her final journey.
Mark and the team at Charles Stephens provided a very professional but caring service after the death of our Mum.Their communication and attention to detail was fantastic. I would recommend Charles Stephens of Neston.
Perfect service!! I am absolutely satisfied with my husband's send off. Special thanks to Tom Harrahill and all at Charles Stephens Funeral Directors. Many thanks
Very professional polite and respectful. Would not hesitate in recommending this knowledgeable and caring company.
Charles Stephens did a wonderful job of managing my father's funeral. Their staff were extremely kind, courteous and helpful at all times. They were able to guide us through all the steps and selected an extremely capable celebrant for what could have been a difficult service. I cannot recommend Charles Stephens highly enough. 11 out of 10.
So very grateful to Rachel and the team at Charles Stephens. They really looked after us and made everything as easy as it can be at this difficult time. Can't recommend them enough.
The kindness, support and advice that we received was second to none. Everything went without glitch and happened smoothly. As a family we would more than recommend Charles Stephens.
Well where do I start I couldn’t recommend Charles Stephen’s enough especially Tom, phill and Yvonne there literally isn’t enough words on this planet to explain how much they have gone above and beyond for me, my family, and my mum they took really good care of her and absolutely smashed her send off it was absolutely unbelievable and the price for what we had for her was very reasonable and they really do talk to you and guide you through everything. I Have to give an extra shout out for Tom as he has been unbelievably amazing and did her so proud through the run up and on the day we laid her to rest and even gave me a little something at the end and they also added keepsakes when I picked her up too I honestly can’t recommend them enough they will definitely be seeing me again just hopefully not anytime soon!!!

Charles Stephens from the outset of my contacting them were professional, courteous and prompt to respond at every turn. I have to name Diane who was consistently patient, gentle and such a great communicator. Special to nod to for Tom who coordinated the funeral with gentle calm and grace having called me the day earlier to introduce himself. I cannot recommend Charles Stephens highly enough.
I cannot rate Charles Stephens Funeral Directors highly enough. Diane, at their Heswall branch, guided me through this overwhelmingly sad and difficult time, after the loss of my adored husband, David; always with utter professionalism but also with a kindness and compassion which I will always remember. Thank you so much, Diane.
I would highly recommend Charles Stephens for their kindness, care, and attention to detail. They took care of my mum three years ago, and without hesitation we returned to them more recently for my Uncle. The whole team took care of me and my family in such a lovely way that it made everything feel easy at such a difficult time.A special thanks to Diane who is so lovely, and dealt with everything exactly as we wanted. And thanks to Tom and the team for taking care of everything on the day which helped us to just be there for each other without worrying about anything else.They are kind, very respectful, and provide you with all the advice and assistance you need. Thank you Diane, Tom, and the team for taking care of our loved ones.
My mum sadly passed away suddenly and Chales Stephens funeral directors were so brilliant. Tom and Richard were so helpful and respectful, and everything was so fast. Any questions we had were promptly answered, and everyone there was so caring, we truly felt looked after by everyone during this hard time. Thank you everyone at Charles Stephens!!
I can not speak highly enough of the service and the attention to detail and the way I was was looked after from start to finish was above and beyond. They made one of the hardest days of my life saying goodbye to my mum respectful comforting and a fitting tribute to a lady who had been on this earth for 96yrs thank you so much
Tom and Yvonne are a credit to Charles Stephens. The standard of service they provided from beginning to end was outstanding. Tom and the team delivered all aspects of care for our family with professionalism and integrity, I could not of wished for better care for my dad! Thank you John and Emma Cunningham.
