Simon and Karen were just incredibly caring from the outset. Every question was answered immediately and nothing was too much trouble. The day of the funeral was profes ... sionally handled and each staff member showed empathy and care throughout the day. Thank you so much Albin & Hitchcock more

It was amazing to find a team who could effectively take charge of the full process to such an extent that we could concentrate on the grieving. Danny Collins was exceptionally tho ... ughtful and spared no effort in getting things done. We had a beautiful send off for a beautiful soul and Albin & Hitchcock were at the center of all the planning. Thank you sincerely. more
