In life there comes a time when you need a trusted Funeral Director to take care of your loved ones. I entrusted my late Father and recently my Mother into the care of family business, Brian Sharples and Son.
Luke and in particular Paul in their Marple Office were superb throughout the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble, every question was answered and their "in house" floral tributes and order of service printing took so much burden off my shoulders.
Dignity, respect and understanding were key words throughout and on the day everything was precisely and perfectly delivered in the manner

Sharples handled all the arrangements for my wife's funeral in a
professional and compassionate manor. They are a family based company and the good side of this shines through rather than dealing with a corporate. I would recommend them to anyone dealing with the difficult and emotional process of arranging the funeral of a loved one.

We cannot thank Paul, Luke and all the team at Sharples in Marple enough for all they have done for our family over the last couple of months. After losing two members of our family in quick succession, the team at Marple made what could have been a very difficult time so easy for us. No request was ever too much, and Paul and Luke made all the personal touches you would want for your family happen with great professionalism and efficiency.
Having never organised a funeral before and having to organise two back to back, it was comforting to have Sharples make recommendations for the celebrant

Brian Sharples of Marple recently dealt with the funeral of my Dad. Both Luke and Paul have been fabulous with us and given us 100% support at this sad time. I would highly recommend this family run business. Their advice and support through the whole process abs organising of the funeral before and afterwards has been priceless to us as a family and felt very personnel. Thank you once again.
