I wanted something different and untraditional and they were extremely helpful and accommodating. No pressure to anything other than what we wanted.

Jess at Earley Funeralcare and all of her staff are amazing! Jess possesses many qualities including; care, compassion, sensitivity and being very down to earth. Jess went above and beyond in caring for our brother. Jess treated him with respect and care. Jess understood that we needed answers and facts and shared delicate information with us in a sensitive and yet upfront way. Jess is compassionate and demonstrates humbleness and humanity. She is kind and level headed. The whole team at Earley Funeralcare, including the care team, the embalmer and Simon on the day of the funeral, went above and beyond to provide my brother with the most incredible, respectful and dignified last journey. The team listened to us and followed all of our wishes. Their care and attention to detail is outstanding. I recommend Earley Funeralcare and 100% trust them. Thank you to all of the staff team.
