Thank you for helping us arrange a lovely send off for my Dad, he would have been proud. Chris Morris was great, he enabled my Mum to the perfect day under the circumstances.

Chris was a true professional in helping us with the funeral arrangements of our dear Mum. He was very caring and attentative to our needs and everything went to plan

Sandra Fawkes 17th Feb 2022

Chris was very helpful and considerate during my very stressful time. The only disappointment was that there were no attendance cards or a donation box put at the back of the crem. Apparently this was specified on the form but did not take place. Everyone looked around for the donation box as the vicar and programme said it was at the back of the crem.

    Would like to thank everyone for the help and support that I got for my father's funeral I don't know whatvi would have done if I had no help thatn you Chris for everything you did my father had a wonderful send off big thanks again . Lorraine

    The service provided up to the day of the funeral was fine but we were disappointed with the service on the day of the funeral. The hearse and limosene arrived late which meant we arrived at the crematorium late. The funeral was scheduled for 2.15 but we arrived closer to 12.30. A funeral is difficult enough without the added stress of wondering when the cars were going to arrive. When leaving the crematorium the driver was not aware that we were going to the Ffynnon Wen and was taking us home although this had been advised to yourselves before the day.

    Perfect service really helpful and thoughtful 

  • 5 Cath Hopwood 24th Jan 2022

    First time having to arrange a funeral on my own. Was guided through the process by Chris. He was very helpful and approachable.

  • 5 David Robertson 17th Jan 2022

    In a difficult circumstance, we couldn't have asked for better empathy, thought and care. Very professional and very caring.

  • 5 Bethan Boyd 20th Dec 2021

    Provided a very supportive and knowledgeable service to the family at a difficult time. In particular Chris Morris was very helpful but Charlotte and all staff in attendance on the day of the funeral were considerate, respectful and polite. Would highly recommend the services of this company.

Would recommend there services to anyone needing to arrange a beautiful funeral service. Massive thank you to Chris Morris and his team at Whitchurch.

    The office in Whitchurch was excellent. This was the third occasion we have used with them and we have been very satisfied with everyone we dealt with there.
    However, the office in Roath was less than satisfactory. We had to collect the ashes from there - if we had been there for our first meeting then we wouldn't have stayed with the firm.

  • 5 Janet Brown 8th Jun 2021

    From start to finish The James Summers Team looked after us so amazingly well at such a difficult time in our lives.  Dominic who took Mum away the day she died was so kind and thoughtful.  Chris who coordinated everything from the Whitchurch office was outstanding.   The day of the service was seamless and was just the day we had planned from the  music to the order of service to the cars and lovely white coffin.  I so appreciated Dominic making sure he was part of the team on Friday. He and David Williams were just perfect and Trevor the driver of a car was very kind and helpful.   Thank you all so very much 

  • 5 Beverley O'Callaghan 7th Jun 2021

    Nothing was to much trouble very well organised would highly recommend them

  • 5 Enid Payne 18th May 2021

    What a lovely group of people, nothing was too much trouble for them even a last minute change of plan. The funeral service was exactly what we required and I know that our mam would have approved too.
    I would highly recommend this company as I know that they looked after our mam right up until the end.
