The whole thing was made easy to organise and we appreciated the flexibility with moving the funeral due to covid. 

Meryl Sanders 31st Jan 2022

From our first phone call through to the actual service and beyond, Lindsey and Hayley, in fact everybody we spoke to, were incredibly kind and caring. We felt in safe hands with every aspect of the funeral arrangements. Nothing was too much trouble for them and Mum’s Funeral went so smoothly and was just exactly as we had hoped for. In the end, we almost enjoyed the day, something we never expected! So, thank you for all your help, understanding and reassurance at what could’ve been such a horrible time. 

Andrew Taylor 31st Jan 2022

Site staff were excellent. However, limited office opening hrs (10-3) was not helpful. Also, despite telling Hitchin office that we did not want ‘other’ services like legal and financial ( which were not included in original Funeral bond ) I got a call from Manchester within 45 mins of leaving the office , and again the next day . Upselling like this is distasteful.

    Lindsey and her team were amazing. Helped us get through an understandable difficult time with clear guidance and advice. Special mention to Tricia who ran the day brilliantly. She looked after us all from start to finish. A credit to her profession.

    Everything was so beautifully arranged and the day of the funeral itself was perfect. Thank you Lindsey and Trisha and all concerned. There have been many lovely comments about this very day. John( Wilfrid!) would have so approved of the way it was done. Our love as always.
