    This company is so professional and so kind. And nothing was to much. They help us all the way threw to service. Sorted the service books, to setting the service up, music and also the link to service. This was a wait lifted off my shoulders. 
    Also coming to visit Warren anything I needed was done and there advise all the way through was so trusted! 
    The whole team are a asset to the company , who ownership this should be so proud. 
    It not something you want to plan but I will be recommending this company. Also inside they having a waiting area which you can look at ideas to remember your loved one to ring, clothes made out of teddy things you wouldn’t think off. 
    On the day , everything went to plan. Also I loved the fact they got out on village and walked in front and went to rugby club and didn’t the same. So respectful! 
    I haven’t got a bad word to say! 
    Thank you so much

  • 5 Nick Hadlow 25th May 2021

    Lisa and Nathan at Viner & Sons made the whole process easier than I feared and delivered exactly the service we wanted with no fuss. Our service was short, non-religious and low-key but I have no doubt that Viner & Sons would fulfil any brief equally well.

We are so glad we chose Viners - they proved themselves to be the very best. A special thank you to the wonderful Clare Bushell for her exceptional organisational skills and sincere warmth and care and to Nathan for ensuring our dad had a farewell fit for a King - just as he deserved. Thank you so very very much.
