Linda Smith 25th Jun 2025
I contacted J F Clarke and Son after the sad passing of my husband. Greg came out to see us and discuss arranging the funeral. Greg listened and gave us time to talk and think abou ... t what we wanted. My husband had a Jazz Band and we wanted to give him a send off with band members past and present leading the hearse. Greg was able to reassure us that this could be done. We were kept updated on when my husband was bought back to the Chapel of Rest and Greg made arrangements for the Church Minister to contact us. Greg along with Lyndsey in the office worked with us on the Order of Service ensuring that we got what we wanted printed. The Funeral went smoothly on the day and everyone said what a lovely service it was. As a family we are very pleased that we chose J F Clarke and Son. Thank you Greg and Lyndsey. more
