Very professional, courteous and compassionate. Tim makes you feel at ease during difficult times. 

Diana Pond 16th Mar 2017

The whole family would like to thank Tim for his tremendous support, compassion and kindness shown to us during this terrible time. Tim took a lot of the organising off our hands and made the whole process as smooth and easy on the family as possible. We trusted that Tim had the family's best interests at heart and for him to care for our loved one. Tim put us in contact with some lovely people including A&T Cooper Florist who were very helpful and Peter White who conducted a beautiful ceremony exactly to the family's wishes. On the day Tim and his team were true professionals showing respect and courtesy, they even planned a lovely route for us to drive to the Crematorium in procession. We would definitely recommend Tim and his team. Thank you so much.

Excellent service very efficient. Tim made you feel that a great weight had been lifted from our shoulders, he dealt with every little thing that we asked and explained in full what would happen, he arranged a beautiful service, the flowers and someone to officiate. Brilliant, we would definitely recommend Tim and his team for a job very well done. Thank you Tim.

    Thanks Tim and Team.

    Terry would have been very proud of the complete Funeral Arrangements that you planned for and gave to him. Even the slightest problem was overcome and the feedback from those people who attended was first class. A job well done. So a very big 'Thank You' once again.

    The level of service and attention to detail that we received from Tim was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. I was impressed from the outset when Tim came to my home to discuss the arrangements. This visit was followed up with regular phone calls to ensure that everything was in place for the service and that I and the family were happy with arrangements. On the day of the funeral, family and friends were treated with the utmost respect and the whole day was dealt with sensitively.

    I would have no hesitation in recommending Tim and the team and they have my grateful thanks.
