Was all and more could have imagined for my wife funeral, Janice made helped and made the arrangement process which is all very personally difficult so easy and was on the phone whenever I had a question. The day went almost like apart from the hearse being blocked in so did get a bit nervous, however Scott was amazing and reassuring me from his phone call the day before from keeping updated on his journey to us then for rest of the day amazing professionalism from everyone and Scott and Darren amazing with my boys on a very difficult day. Laura was also amazing it’s very hard putting a lot thoughts and words to someone then not knowing what will sound like on the day and even I got yo read the eulogy before the day still very hard to imagine how will sound on the day but all went very well. All friends and family who attended said was one of the most beautiful send off they have attended. Thank You. Also not to forget the media team of the order of service literally took an idea and made it beautifully.

Jan, David and Jay were fantastic and I was looked after from the start of what was the most awful situation, right up to the end. Hugely grateful for their support and kindness throughout. Debs xx

Janice the FAA at Westcliff office was efficient very kind and caring. A great comfort in my loss. David and his team on the day were very kind and caring as well. The horse drawn hearse was splendid, well turned out and the horses well behaved. My Jeni would have loved the horses best. Very many thanks. Michael Warren.
