We couldn’t have asked for a more caring and empathetic service. They made everything as easy as it could be at a difficult time and I could not fault them. Everything was done as it should be, respectful, considerate and professional. 

Coral Leggett 17th May 2024

From walking through the door you are enveloped into a wonderfully serene atmosphere with highly professional staff who have exceptional listening skills. At a time when your mind could wander the staff allow you to return to the task in hand at your own speed whilst offering guidance to ensure that you create a wonderful departure for your loved one.

  • 5 Annette Croote 23rd Mar 2024

    A really loving, caring & thoughtful family business. They patiently talked me through every step of the process, making sure I understood what would be happening. They thoughtfully phoned several times to make sure I was okay & hadn't thought of anything to change or wasn't sure about. They also have a free follow-up Bereavement Counselling service if anyone feels they are struggling with grief. I cannot praise them enough & am stuck for words to express my thanks. Myself and my family certainly highly recommend them at a time of need. They are a lovely caring family firm.

    We can't thank Sam & Nicky enough for helping us through this awful time. The considration, kindness and the support they gave was above & beyond. Our son David was in safe hands all the time he was with them. Thank you so much.

  • 5 Pauline Carter 11th Feb 2024

    Amazing service from start to finish and even after their caring service doesn't end. Thornalley's made an unbearable time losing a loved one a little more bearable knowing they are so well looked after. They thought of all the things we just couldn't deal with at the time.

    Can't thank them enough for being there for Mum.

  • 5 Bruce Riches 4th Feb 2024

    Totally satisfied is the only way I can describe the excellent service that I received from this local company. They all treated me very personally and looked after my deceased cousin with care and compassion.
    I cannot think of anything that could be improved, it was only by chance that this family company as used as the one in his will was no longer in business.
    Highly recommended, I will have no hesitation in using them again if needed.
    Big Thanks Bruce.
