Lewis Solomon provided a first class service throughout. From the first point of contact they were thoroughly supportive and attentive with the perfect balance of what was needed b ... y us. The initial meeting was sensitively handled, clear, provided comprehensive information for us to make our own decisions and our choices were carried out completely as planned. The funeral day went without a hitch and we were guided every step of the way. Lewis Solomon are a totally professional company and we would definitely recommend them to anyone. more

I have nothing but praise. Always compassionate and nothing was too much trouble. Didn’t matter how many times I contacted them they were so kind and helpful. On the day everything ... went perfectly without a hitch. We were shown nothing but help and kindness. Would not hesitate to recommend them. more
