Catherine Webber 2nd Aug 2021

Unfortunately over the last few years I have had to use the services of James Summers and each occasion I have been very grateful for their kindness, efficiency and professionalism. David Williams was my contact and I cannot praise him enough for his thoroughness and thoughtfulness through these events.

    A really amazing service from summers. We were looked after by Stephen Reeves who was wonderful from start to finish. He really understood our needs and was so helpful arranging all the individual parts that came together to make the day beautiful. Can honestly say we were not disappointed by anything on the day, it was perfect! Thank you

  • 3 Melanie Pomeroy 20th Jul 2021

    A very friendly funeral director who helped organise and co-ordinate the funeral. However, I found one reception staff rather unfriendly and abrupt - especially when I telephoned to arrange to come in and pay the bill. A softer approach would have been appreciated. It felt very cold, and unfriendly.  They need to remember that they are providing a service to vulnerable people.

    I have only given an average score because some aspects of the service I received were excellent but some were very unsatisfactory. I am happy to discuss my decision to leave this score with anyone from James Summers if they would like further feedback.
