I cannot praise Viner and Son highly enough. From start to finish they have provided an excellent service and the funeral itself was sensitively handled and took all the pressure of myself.

    When you are going through such a painful time you need someone to be kind , empathetic and professional,  Viners & Sons were the perfect choice. We were greeted by a young lady called Kerrie, who went over and beyond to make us feel at ease and efficiently made arrangements for the Service.
    On the day the Pallbearers/drivers timed the day to perfection and nothing was too much trouble.
    We would totally recommend Viners & Sons to help make such a difficult  time more bearable.
