    We were impressed with the friendliness and compassion given to us by Jen and Ray . The way we were guided through our options for the funeral was wonderful as my son and I have never arranged a funeral before. My late husband would have been delighted as it went exactly as he had planned before his death. Every day or two they sent e-mails or phoned to see how we were and we were updated on service cards ect . A first class service . Thank you  .
