Very professional but friendly staff.  Service on day was great couldn’t asked for anything better

Alan James Bainton 20th Jun 2022

I would highly recommend Julia at James Summers Penarth who dealt with us compassionately and professionally throughout mum's funeral arrangements.  Nothing was too much trouble and Julia took the time to find out mums character and match the funeral services to the families wishes. All the other staff were discreet, respectful and professional and the funeral itself went completely to plan.  Our expectations were exceeded and this difficult time was made more bearable by the thought and care demonstrated.

    From the moment we contacted James Summers we were treated with respect from all at the funeral home especially thanks to Margaret and Julia. All our needs were met with the necessary help and guidance given but with no pressure. The actual funeral service was although small exactly what was needed for the family. Many thanks from Nesta and Roy

    I can't speak highly enough of the exceptional service we have received from James Summers, Penarth. We would particularly like to thank Julia and Margaret for their care and attention. Also, thanks to Charlotte, who prepared Tony for viewing so beautifully and Joseph who facilitated the viewing outside of regular viewing hours. Julia's comfort and care at the crematorium service was greatly appreciated by us all.

    We are so glad that we chose Summers, Penarth and would definitely recommend their services to anyone.

    Diane, Richard, Michelle and Family.
