    Stephen and his team were very professional and went the extra mile to make a very distressing time for me and the family run very smoothly and could not have done more- leaving the team, coffee and some foodstuff was a very nice and personal touch.
    I was however made to feel uncomfortable and distressed by getting a text from you to review their services just 5 weeks after my wife passed away
