Thoughtful, kind, caring staff. Extremely well organized. Attention to detail superb. Cannot thank them enough for making this difficult time as easy and comforting as possible.
5 Deniece Hardy 8th Feb 2016

Solomans have made such a difference to us. Very professional from the moment I walked through the door. Every single person I have met at your establishment has been polite, considerate and understanding. Nothing was ever to much trouble.
Great communication from Nicky helped keep me organised. All emails answered swiftly even some late at night and weekends. I felt they went above the call of duty.
You made me feel that Andrew was in safe care, that he treated with the upmost dignity. You met our family, listened to our stories of Andrew. You gave us a shoulder to cry on and helped us through this tragic time. We are truly greatful. Thankyou from all of us
