From the out of hours person I spoke to when mum passed away, through the team at Great Baddow, they have all been brilliant. A special shout out to Cara for her excellent communication and organisation skills which means you can relax knowing its all being taken care of.

    I really praise your Company too highly. From my first encounter with Cara, who was so professional and friendly. Obviously this is a stressful and emotional time and it’s such a relief to have someone like Cara to just organise everything with no pressure selling or pushy attitude. On the day, Jodie and her team did a wonderful job of organising everything. Thank you so much for everything.
