  • 3 David Snashall 14th Mar 2024

    When ordering my sons funeral I asked for ashes to be split into 5 .
    When picking them up from Grays branch they were just one large package.
    Fair play to the lady at Grays she separated them for me ,but the bag wasn’t sealed properly so on inspection had a lot of his ashes all over my work top.

  • 2 Jayne Brown 3rd Jan 2024

    I definitely didn’t have a good experience with Southend-on-sea, Essex branch!
    Having to continually chase, receiving unacceptable emails, not getting any help or assistance, the only thing I was satisfied with was Steve at the actual funeral, he was very professional.
    Sadly, my mums send off was a bad experience I will always remember 

  • 4 Carole Collier 2nd Jan 2024

    All staff were friendly and helpful at all times.
    They lost a star because I asked about live screening and they didn't know the answer.

  • 5 Kathleen Brewster 11th Dec 2023

    I was very pleased with every aspect of the funeral arrangements from start to finish.
    Malissa was extremely helpful and explained things clearly.

    On the day of the funeral;

    David Wilson, the celebrant, conducted the service with sensitivity and sympathetically.

    Funeral care staff were efficient and the whole occasion ran very smoothly.

    I would like to thank everyone for making the occasion less stressful and worry free .
