Sarah,Dan and Rev. Jeff of Drayton branch, did their best to help a reluctant and clueless funeral attendee!  Overall the experience was well organised and received by my Mother’s family and work friends. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Drayton Funeral Care and Meridian Funeral Directors in the future!
