Must be difficult to be objective at a time like that. I think that more could be done to prepare for the final costs : it's not a time to negotiate nor are you aware that costs have moved on from the last time you needed the services of funeral directors. Can't fault the attention we were given.

This is the second family funeral in two years for which Nigel Guilder Ltd has officiated: the company has met or exceeded all our expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending the company and would 100% choose them again assuming they remain the same local independent company that they are. Couldn't be better.
