Thank you, for your kindness and for not being too formal. I appreciated the more friendly and relaxed approach.

Shane Martins 19th Jun 2025

From first contacting TFS Dersingham, Sam and his team have provided an exceptional service. With compassion and care, the whole process was explained and administrative guidence given. Sam listened to our thoughts, and with his wealth of experience delivered a celebration of our mums life far beyond expectation, and made a difficult time a little more bareable. First class service, second to none.

  • 5 Andrew Wood 16th Mar 2025

    This was the first time I had needed to organise a funeral. I met with Sam at Thornalleys Dersingham office. He explained everything carefully and took a lot of pressure off my family at this difficult time.
    When the day came, everything went smoothly, with care and compassion shown throughtout, carrying out our requests exactly.
    Thank you to Sam and Nicky at the branch and the rest of the team who assisted on the day.

  • 5 Ann Napper 1st Mar 2025

    We couldn't have asked for anything more of Thornally Services and their wonderful staff. They thought of every last detail and were so helpful in checking things through with us.
    Their attention to detail on the day and the professionalism of all of the staff enabled us to just concentrate on remembering Mum. They were gentle, considerate and kind.
    We are very grateful and would highly recommend them for the future.

  • 5 Debbie Gray 16th Feb 2025

    Nicky and Sam have been so kind and professional. We were totally in the dark about the steps to take but their thorough and thoughtful guidance helping to plan the funeral, newspaper announcements, liaising with the church, florist, order of service, videographer, donations and keeping in constant touch have been invaluable. Especially looking after Mum until we could say our goodbyes. Thank you.

    Thorough, clear, helpful and caring throughout.
    Thornalleys have a great team.

  • 5 Annette Crowe 24th Jan 2025

    The whole process from start to finish was done with such care and compassion from both Sam and Nicky. Mum was treated with the respect that she’s deserved and the kindness that was given to us was amazing. 
    Such a difficult time when you lose someone, but the team made it so much easier with how they sorted everything for us. Would recommend to anyone
