The staff have been lovely and helpful all the way through this very difficult time for me and helped me give my husband a beautiful send off. They really looked after Dan and I can’t thank them enough.
Jennifer Gildea 20th Aug 2024
As nice as the staff were, I felt the only contact I had was if I called the office. I was told by the celebrant I would be called the night before the funeral to make sure I was up to date on everything and how things would run on the day. This never happened. I felt there was a lack of communication between Solomans and the Celebrant. Unfortunately, I couldn't relax and feel we were in good hands leading up to the funeral. The cars were late arriving to my house. Despite emails on Songs and a copy of the order of service sent in, the entrance song was still noted down incorrectly. Sadly, I would not recommend Solomans based on my experience. Kind regards Jenny Gildea
