    Amazing service received at a very difficult time.  Very supportive staff who guided me through ever step of the way. 

  • 5 Samantha Walker 3rd Jul 2023

    The team from the very start ( fetching dad) to the end were very professional and amazing. They made this difficult time abit easier.

    We had to wait awhile to see dad, but once he was ready we could see him as often as we wanted, which was a real comfort to my sister.

    Geraint and Lewis were sensitive and let us take our time saying bye to dad. They made one of the worst nights of our lives abit easier knowing he was in good hands. They even phoned me at 1am to let me know dad was comfortable.

    Dean was a very calming presence and was professional and respectful. He checked on us throughout.

    The whole team made sure the funeral went beautifully, we didn't have to worry about a thing on the day. It meant we could grieve.

    Thank you so so much to you all.
