  • 5 Tracey Stock 22nd May 2016

    From the moment our dad passed the care and consideration given both to us and our dad was exceptional, then in the chapel of rest and the two lovely ladies ( forgive I can only remember Wendy's name) but they have both been so very friendly, caring and considerate ,even when they looked after mum as well . And finally the final journey, could not ask for a better crew than the ones we had we already knew one of the drivers because he took us to our mums . My dad had the best care in death as he did in life THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart .
