    Both my Mum's and Dad's funeral was carried out by Heritage, if I had more parents they too would be looked after by Heritage. Cannot fault Nicky and Rosemary in any way, they take away all the pressure that a funeral brings and are so personal. The day was so perfect, thank you.

    After loosing dad, I didnt think I'd be calling you 2yrs down the line.
    But like before you were there. Compassionate, caring and understanding from the moment you answered the phone.
    And again... I honestly can't tell you how grateful I am for EVERYTHING you've done. Not just for looking after mum. But me too.
    Again you're not just funeral directors. You're friends. And I will be forever grateful for the care you provided for both mum and dad. And I know mum would be pleased knowing it was you looking after her.
    So again. From the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU 💖

    Careful and considerate. No detail was missed out even when last minute changes were requested.

    The Order of Service was wonderfully done as was the webcam which people are still requesting.

    I cannot thank them enough for making a stressful time much easier to deal with.

    The whole family and friends send their appreciation
