Ann Clark 20th Dec 2019
I was recommended Bernard and daughter for the funeral and was so pleased I took the advice. Relaxed, friendly and caring. They helped us to work out the funeral we wanted, took over all the paperwork and offered useful advice. The funeral itself was faultless just the right amount of respect without overdoing it. They took all the worry and stress away to allow us to say our farewells with our family and friends. My thanks to them.
