They were very good
Alice Wilkie 5th Mar 2024
Angela was very helpful and patient and guided us through the whole process of arranging a funeral once my dad came into their care and answering all my questions no matter what they were. Angela helped advise us from start to finish, letting us know what we could and couldnt do, she made sure we had all the momentos we wanted. Nothing was to much trouble and she was always at the end of the phone if we had any more questions. Angela also put us in touch with Ronda the Celebrant who made dads service special and all about celebrating my dads life. Stuart and the team of undertakers did an a great job on the day of my dads funeral and made sure the service ran smoothly from start to finish. They all helped to make what was a difficult time that little bit easier. Thank you all for your kindness to the family and for taking care of dad up to and on his final journey.
