  • 5 Christine Sirrell 7th Mar 2022

    The occasion was carried out efficiently and timely. Although in normal times it would not happen, I thought when we saw the coffin for the last time  going down the tree lined path was rather lovely. To go on one last trip was much better than disappearing behind a curtain.
    Our thanks for the care taken throughout the past few weeks
