James Pluck 14th Mar 2022

From start to finish our funeral director David Williams handled all the arrangements absolutely perfectly. He made a painful day far more bearable than I could have hoped for. A big thanks to you and your team.

Marion John 14th Mar 2022

During what is obviously a very difficult time, I can only praise the Funeral Directors for the respect they showed from collecting my husband from our home to the day the funeral took place, and for the support and kindness afterwards. Charlotte, Tara and the team were caring, and gave myself and my family such consideration throughout. The whole service, flowers and everything else was taken care of by them and they made the day a very special one.

    Outstanding service and exceptional kindness during the entire process of planning my brother’s funeral from America during a global pandemic. Beth Wookey and the directors gave tremendous moral support and detailed preparation to our family during the service at their chapel until my brother was laid to rest at Thornhill Cemetery. Thank you.

    Joseph dealt with my Sisters funeral and he was the most professional, kind and compassionate person and talked me through every step and went out of his way to check in and make sure the family were okay. His help and advice was invaluable! Everyone at Summers were fantastic every step of the way from the funeral directors to the wonderful limousine drivers on the day, we can't thank you enough for making an awful situation as easy as possible.
