What families say
Angela Mawhinney
Jan 2026I would like to share my sincere thanks and gratitude to Dina at Gateway Funerals. She helped guide my family through the entire process with warmth, kindness, compassion and provided such a personal service to us. She truly went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly and that my father had the best possible send off. Thank you Dina. You helped us more than you know.

Oct 2025Following the death of a family member, we utilised the intermediary services offered by Gateway Grant whilst we arranged a separate funeral directing service for at the request of other family I have to say, I was so blown away by how kind and helpful they were. With ultimately no gain for themselves, they responded within 2 hours for transfer purposes, collated all the documentation and forwarded it on promptly to the incoming service provider. They were easily contacted, absolutely lovely on all interactions, highly responsive and above all else: shockingly effective and efficient. They really made the first 24 hours easier for us. It was the family’s ultimate decision to utilise existing contacts for the services that followed but I have kept this number and this service in mind for future reference. Thank you everyone - especially Judy at reception
