I cannot thank Stephen P Gay and their staff enough for their support and friendly manner in which they gave me from beginning to end. The initial phone calls and subsequent booking to the funeral day itself, needed for this painful task was made so much more bearable by the staff helping me with the arrangements. They had been recommended to me and I certainly do likewise for them. Sincerely  Ken Harris.

James Neal 17th Feb 2021
