Very caring and understanding, looked after my dad very well

Linda Tibbs 30th Jan 2023

Very caring staff. Mum’s funeral was paid via a funeral plan, everything went smoothly and her wishes were met.  My only concern was the celebrant who only contacted me via phone once, didn’t seem very compassionate or helpful therefore I made a complaint to Louise and Mark who have dealt with the matter promptly.

Gareth Evans 12th Dec 2022

Made one of the worst experiences into something that leaves me with happy memories. Nothing was too much trouble.  Every little detail was sorted.  Very professional but with a genuine human touch.

    I was shocked to see the style and poor quality of the gown that was put on my late husband, plus I asked for a blue satin lined coffin and it was done in white. Photos of gowns should be available.
