Kathleen Finch 16th Feb 2021

We wish to thank everyone involved with the planning of the funeral for our Aunt. Everything was organised with such a high degree of efficiency and compassion, both leading up to the funeral and on the day of the Service. We were regularly informed of progress during the planning stages, with someone always available to answer any questions that arose. Once again, thanks to all of you at Pettits and to the Celebrant who officiated on the day.
