  • 5 Nicholas Creek 2nd Sep 2024

    Susan and her team are sensitive and kind everything was conducted professionally and with a compassionate approach. My family and I felt completely comfortable with them. The pall bearers were able to show my daughter how to carry the coffin and were gentle and supportive with her. This Is the third time we have used Susan, we will never use anyone else as long as she is still working.

    Susan Whymark replied
