From the start, Robbie and Steph were a huge comfort and support to myself and my family following the death of my husband, after a 12 year battle with dementia. Everything was taken care of professionally and to an excellent standard.Thank you for looking after him so well.

Having attended a friend’s funeral two years ago organised by Herbert Murray we had no hesitation in selecting them when my mum passed away. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always at the end of a phone to offer comfort and advice. My mum could not have been better looked after if she had been the Queen. The service felt really personal while at the same time highly professional. I came to regard Robbie and Steph as really close friends that we needed during this tragic time. Both of them have got it just right and I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. Heartfelt thanks ladies from Sarah, Geoff & Stephen.

Friendly, professional and compassionate service from Robbie andSteph from the first phone call on the evening of my wife's departure. The presentation of my wife, in her coffin, took me back many years to before all the pain and suffering came into my wife's life. Nothing was too much trouble to the team, including the provision of an amazing "non-aromatic" (my words) spray of tropical flowers due to my wife suffering from hay fever. The Celebrant that they recommended - Debbie Jones- did not disappoint in the least, her delivery and content was excellent. The final touch, by Robbie and Steph, to provide 6 No sprays from the wreath was a thoughtful and much appreciated gesture. An all round excellent service provision by the team.

From the first phone call I knew that Herbert Murray was the right service for me. Arranging the funeral of my husband was a hugely daunting task but the kindness and professionalism of both Steph and Robbie really helped to ease the burden. They paid great attention to detail and any communications from me were responded to straight away. They were sensitive to the needs of all the family and guided us through this difficult time. Above all they respected and valued my husband making sure that he was cared for and remembered in the best possible way. Thank you Robbie and Steph.

I can't fault Steph, who was a great support and made the whole process as simple and straightforward as possible. I found Herbert Murray to be very respectful, knowledgeable and patient which is exactly what is needed. The current lockdown situation made it a far tricker ordeal but I can't fault the service our family have received.

I have never had to arrange a funeral before and it was during the Covid-19 lock-down so the task was quite daunting! Robbie and Steph were fantastic, they helped with everything from start to finish, very professional and truly caring throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone, an absolute pleasure to deal with during such a difficult time.~Thank you~

From the first phone call nothing was too much trouble. Kind, caring and compassionate at a time when you need it most. Steph and Robbie were with us every step of the way, gently guiding us and helping us to say goodbye to our loved one in a way that was perfect for him. They took time to be with us when we needed it and also knew when to step back. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They made a difficult time bearable and supported us in a way we will never forget. Thank you xxx

Robbie and Steph are the most amazing people whom with their team helped us through a difficult time. Everything was stress free as they had things covered for us. Nothing was too much trouble and communication was excellent all the way through. Their personal approach to everything was just what we needed and they were both so thoughtful and kind to us. We would strongly recommend Herbert Murray to anyone needing their services as we can not sing their praises enough

Amazing, compassionate service from the first phone call right through to the day of the funeral. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they endeavour to make sure the day itself is as perfect as that day can be. They are always at the end of the phone for any queries or worries and treat your passed loved one with such dignity and respect. They made what is an extremely tough time that bit more manageable. Couldn't recommend them enough to give your loved one the send off they deserve. Thank you from the Taylor/Lorenzelli family for your services.

My family used the services of Herbert Murray for the funeral of our mother recently, we collectively can't speak highly enough of both Robbie and Steph, they were simply outstanding in everyway throughout the whole process. In what was a difficult period for us they were professional and considerate. The day itself was planned with incredible attention to detail. A very welcoming and approachable team, highly recommended !

Steph and Robbie are the most caring and professional funeral directors I have ever come across and I have dealt with a few from the Sale area in the past several years. From beginning to end they were with us every step of the way which took a lot of the pressure off us at this difficult time. They also put us in touch with a celebrant they recommended called Susan Blackshaw who was also marvellous.

I would want Steph and Robbie to arrange my funeral.... it’s in my will 🌹All my family and my love, can’t thank these two ladies and their team enough. If you want love, care, attention, time, dignity and empathy, not just for the grieving family but , for your beloved passed one..... look no further.... They are truly the dream team in funerals ... care and consideration are their driving force. Don’t hesitate!!!!

From out first contact, Steph and Robbie made us feel welcome and at ease. Their kind and thoughtful attention to every detail at this difficult time has made the whole process of arranging the funeral for our dad Stan more bearable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Herbert Murray to anyone else looking for the best possible care for their loved ones. Thank you both.

You could not ask for a more caring company to cater for the needs of your loved one and yourself at such a sad time. Robbie and Steph will ensure that your wishes and those of the deceased are carried out with care and compassion.

Steven Whelan

I could not recommend Robbie and the team enough. They were amazing for me, my family and friends in what was an extremely difficult time and I’m extremely grateful. Nothing was too much of a problem and they did anything we asked within their power and Robbie kept a great level of communication throughout. Also looking after our loved one in a nice environment, taking flowers which arrived days after the service as well as supporting us all throughout the day. I’m really glad we used Herbert Murray and I’d highly recommend them to anybody in the Trafford area.

I would highly recommend using this company. Steph was calm, reassuring and knowledgeable. She guided us through a difficult experience and our family felt safe in her hands. We felt reassured our late dad was very well looked after under her and Robbies care. She made us feel like she knew him in life, even though she didn’t. Her recommendation to use Reverend Richard was spot on - he was fantastic and again his professionalism and warmth made the service so unique - our dad would have loved it !

Julie Starling

I had to arrange a long distance funeral for my mother, I was recommended Steph and Robbie because they have a reputation for providing a very personalised service and I was not disappointed. They went out of their way to guide and support me through the process, even though we didn't actually meet until the day before the funeral. The funeral was beautiful, Steph and Robbie provided numerous personal touches which were very much appreciated. I highly recommend them.

Alexandra McGowan

It’s always an honour and a privilege to work with these ladies, because Robbie and Steph are the best in the business. The attention to detail, genuine care and compassion for all families and dignity with which they conduct all the funerals they look after is second to none. Whatever your situation, whoever you are, Herbert Murray Funeral Directors will treat you and your loved one with absolute respect, and make sure the funeral is carried out in accordance with your wishes. The funeral home itself is beautiful, and creates a calm, pleasant environment to talk through the arrangements. I would highly recommend their services without hesitation.

Absolutely amazing. They provided us with a personal service and were truly dedicated at looking after our loved one Elizabeth and making sure the whole family were looked after before during and after the service. Both Steph Robyn are truly amazing. Couldn't recommend enough.

I have worked with and for many Funeral Directors over the years and am proud to rate the team at Herbert Murray as among the most dedicated, professional and compassionate that I have ever met. Their manner is so approachable and personal and yet they are utterly meticulous and efficient in every way. I cannot recommend Robbie and Stephanie highly enough. They will look after your loved one as if he or she were their own family.

Highly recommend Steph and Robbie, during such difficult circumstances losing mum and dad together they really supported us 3 girls and helped us through such a challenging time. The service they offer is extremely personal and they guide you through each step and break it down into manageable bits so avoid it being overwhelming. I really believe that we got the send off we had been visualising for our loving parents and that was because of the support from these two amazing people. Carol

Robbie and Steph were absolute angels when I lost my Grandma and Grandad together. This happened in September 2018 and I still admire their love and care every single day. They helped me and my family so much after this loss, everytime I pass Herbert Murray my body gets filled with so much love. Can’t thank them enough to this day. ❤️

When my stepfather passed away suddenly and unexpectedly my mum chose Herbert Murray as they are in her local village. We are so happy she did. We cannot praise Robbie and Steph highly enough. From our first meeting with Steph up until the funeral nearly a month later they were constantly in touch with mum, calling her nearly every other day to make sure she was ok and telling her to pop in and have a coffee with them. The only time I saw my mum break down was when they arrived with Brian at her house, but Robbie was amazing and talked to her with such compassion and reasurred her about everything that would happen. Thank you all at Herbert Murray for making a difficult time more bearable for my mum. Julie Evans xx
