Best Green Funeral Director of the Year 2014
Respect received Best Green Funeral Director of the Year 2014 and a Natural Death Centre recommendation for 2014–2018.
Alison Finch on the 2017 nomination
In 2017, Alison Finch, who ran Respect Direct Funeral Services with branches in Bawtry, Worksop, Gainsborough, Kirton and Barton and its two green burial parks, said: “we are so proud to have been nominated by so many for our services to come runner up out of some 4,000 funeral directors in the UK and out of the hundreds of excellent funeral professionals who were nominated by the public this year”. “It’s nice to be recognised for our cremation services as most local people think we only offer green burial.”
Recognising people who support the bereaved
The Good Funeral Awards were in their sixth year in 2017, recognising excellence in the funeral sector. Event organiser Brian Jenner said: “The Awards recognise all those unsung heroes who work hard for the bereaved and whose role can so easily be overlooked, some of the nicest people in Britain work in the funeral business”.
What matters when choosing today
Historical recognition can be part of a company’s story. Current service details, the people who will help, a written quotation and clear arrangements are still the information to use for a decision now.
Historical recognition recorded in Respect’s January 2018 brochure and the Good Funeral Awards 2017 results.
