  • 5 Philip Millar 29th Apr 2021

    I Am very Happy to recommend Clarks ,Both my Mum and Stepdad had pre paid
    funeral plans with them . This made life so much easier to the extent we also will now consider having these plans . At no time did i find the staff anything other than helpful and respectful . Even to the extent when mum passed our we dog which was so petted on mum was running around looking for her . I had read that Dogs respond to seeing the body and move on !! I must admit when i asked the receptionist if i could bring the dog in to see Mum she was somewhat taken aback but agreed ... Strange as it might seem i have a lasting memory of that event ... Best to stick with Family Firms .... Thanks to all at Clarks
