Your kindness and compassion shown to me and my family on the passing of my husband at this difficult time has been second to none 

Mr B Carlile 8th Jul 2021

Kelly and the whole team at Susan Whymark (Harleston) were nothing short of outstanding on the recent passing of my mother. They were kind, compassionate, and at no time did we feel rushed. Nothing was too much trouble, and the day itself was a beautiful tribute to mum, and exactly what we had hoped for. Thank you all for everything you did. 

Ms J Helsby 18th Jun 2021

We received excellent support from Kelly of Susan Whymark funeral services when planning Mum’s funeral. She gave us all the time we needed, explaining everything fully. We felt listened to and she made suggestions that helped us have a unique and personal farewell. All the staff we met were    polite, smart and efficient. My sister and I strongly recommend using their services.
