    We were given details of all funeral types and prices and were very helpful in helping us decide which type would be best for us without any pressure to decide there and then. We really appreciated that it was understood we needed time to think about it. Staff were polite, friendly and very caring. We had very good after care. We liked that they gave us a courtesy call to make sure that we were ok and didn't need any further support.
    We would definitely recommend them.
