The whole family wish to thank the professionalism and care that our dad,husband and grandads funeral was handled. Never did we ever feel this was just another job to them, the arr ... angements before the day were handled with complete respect. And the day itself was perfect in every way we would of hoped. I can not recommend Farriers enough. Thank you. All of you. Stephen Ashman. more
