    Everything, from the response to my initial phone call to the conduct of the funeral itself has been a model of professionalism. Nothing has been too much trouble and everyone concerned has been so helpful and friendly during a potentially difficult time. Sarah and Lorna are both an absolute credit to the company and I'm sure they have a great team behind the scenes to help them. Thank you all so much.
