    Kay passed away very suddenly, and unexpectedly at the age of 60. On top of the shock and grief, all of a sudden you have to plan a funeral. Abbey Funeralcare were absolutely fantastic during the entire process, they made things that little bit easier at such a difficult time. We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us, and for Kay. A special thank you to Diane who talked us through everything, the care shown towards us, and helping give Kay the send off she deserved. We would definitely recommend Abbey Funeralcare, and would 100% go to them again if ever needed. Thank you.
