A wonderful service provided for my Mum's funeral. It was very professional from the very beginning when taking care of Mum once she had passed to laying her to rest at the funeral. The ladies that organised all the arrangements did an amazing job and took all the stress away from myself and was always there to reassure us if we had any questions or worries. Stephen P. Gay made such a difficult situation so much easier for Dad and I. Mum had a beautiful send off on a very hot beautiful day and in a beautiful setting. Thank You

The staff in the office were very helpful. It would have been good to have some guideline what the procedure would have been once getting to the crematorium. We were told this when the herse arrived. Otherwise pleased with things
