We were delighted with the excellent service. Both before and after the actual service, the team did everything they could - ensuring that we had exactly what we wanted. On the day of the funeral, Stephen ensured that we were ok and explained what was happening as we went along, making the day as painless as possible. Thank you to the whole team. Would highly recommend this company.

Respectful, professional, friendly firm. Gave great advice and understood our requirements. Managed our situation with empathy and sensitivity. Have used Stephan Gay previously and the team were just as good then. The actual cremation and service, managed by one of the recommended celebrants, Sarah, was also just as we had hoped for. Thanks to Stephen, Pauline, Mel and the team for taking such good care of us. Would certainly recommend.
