Michelle u was am absolute star from start to finish always there when needed you. I wouldnt have gone anywhere else u made it all go the way we wanted. All the small details you did ment everything to me and wayne. I wouldnt have picked anyone else to look after mum, you are fantastic at your job and dont ever let anyone tell you different.

  • 4 Mark Haslam 18th Nov 2023

    It's puzzling me why was the coffin so long my mum was so tiny

    A.W. Lymn, Ilkeston Team replied
    Dear Mark and Donna,
    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the Ilkeston Branch. I'd like to offer an explanation to your question regarding the size of your Mum’s coffin. We allow space within the coffin, so it is not a tight fit, with an allowance for a nice pillow and padding at head and foot end and for the frill interior. I hope this puts your mind to rest of why the coffin appeared bigger than your Mums size – Michelle.

    Michelle Ibbett at Ilkeston is the biggest credit to your company. I don’t know how I would have navigated this whole process without her. Sensitive caring and full of perfect ideas. She’s been a blanket wrapped around me and will stay in touch with her forever.
    On the note of the company, your finishing touches are second to none. Everything is presented in a beautiful way. Mike the funeral director on the day was incredible as we’re his team. The day went exactly as planned and I can’t thank you enough.
    From me and all Mikeys family a massive thank you and well done and will be recommending your services to everyone who will listen 🩵🩵🩵

I have passed on your words to Mick and the team who all pass on their thanks to you. From Michelle and all the team
