We were touched by the professional manner in which you conducted the service for our much loved daughter. The horses and hearse were beautiful, it was just how Elizabeth would have wanted it. We thank you for your support, compassion and empathy for enabling us to lay our dearest daughter to rest. Kind regards  Fred & Liz Colman and family.

Barbara and her colleagues were excellent and provided support to the family at Mam’s funeral, which went meticulously to plan. Many thanks in looking after Mam and giving her the funeral a wonderful woman deserved.

The only thing I was disappointed about was I had asked for the curtain not to be closed around mam’s coffin but it was closed during the song I had chosen which caused some confusion between myself and my family.
