I could not have asked for a better send off for my mum, Bournes where amazing, From originally organising the Funeral before my mum past away to the day of the funeral, Ben was amazing on the day, he made sure every thing was done as we wanted it and with the up most respect on such a sad day, We could not have asked for a better service from Chele, the way she worded the eulogy was incredible, as a family we sat down with her and bombarded her with stories of mum and the outcome was a try reflection on her life. If there was a 10 star review i would put that!

From start to finish we were looked after at what is a very difficult time. On the day of my mum's funeral me and my husband was told at every point what would happen, we was not left thinking what do we do know. A very big thank you to Ben for making everything go so seamlessly thank you so much to Bourns.

The Team at Bournes, have always given our family outstanding service, particularly Ben, communication was easy, the room for resting & viewing was perfect. I cannot recommend Bournes enough as I had to have my husband returned to UK, it was all handled smoothly & with compassion 💯
