A fantastic send off for our mum. Fiona has been amazing from start to finish. She has been so kind and compassionate and even helped us out at weekends as we live so far away. We couldn’t of got through it without her. One of our relations commented that it was the loveliest funeral they had been to. So thank you so much.

    Fiona Hall, at the Spondon office, who organised my dad’s funeral, is quite brilliant. She struck the right note with us from the moment we arrived, therefore making a traumatic and difficult process straightforward.   On the day itself, the drivers were superb: friendly, precise with their timing. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are pleased that Fiona was able to make this traumatic and difficult time straightforward for you, and she joins me in thanking you for once again allowing her the privilege of taking care of you.
