  • 5 Alison Piper 24th Jul 2026

    Thank you so much for your attention to detail and your support at this difficult time. The arrangements were just as we asked. Everyone we spoke to or met from Thornalleys was thoughtful, helpful, and supportive in just the right way. This is exactly the way to do things.

  • 5 Charmaine Johns 21st Jul 2026

    We wish to thank everyone at Thornalley for their excellent support and help with planning our mum Margaret’s funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and all questions asked were dealt with quickly. 

    We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Ray who fulfilled our Mums wish to lead her funeral.

    Thank you all
    Charmaine, Michael and all Margaret’s family 

  • 5 Paul Bell 20th Jul 2026

    Everyone at Thornally 's were so helpful, and very easy to deal with. Andrew called a couple of times to see how we were doing. Couldn't recommend them enough.
    Thank you to everyone.

  • 5 Nicola F. 20th Jul 2026

    We cannot thank Andrew and the entire team enough for the care, compassion and professionalism they showed our family throughout one of the most difficult times of our lives.

    From our very first meeting through to my stepdad Colin's funeral, they guided us every step of the way with kindness, empathy and complete professionalism. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel calm and manageable.

    The funeral itself was a perfect send-off for Colin. So many people commented afterwards on how impressed they were with Andrew and his team. Watching them work was almost like watching an art form. Everything appeared effortless, yet it was clear just how much planning, experience and attention to detail had gone into every aspect of the day.

    The whole team worked seamlessly together with such dignity and respect, allowing us to focus on remembering and celebrating Colin rather than worrying about the arrangements.

    We will always be grateful for the support we received over the past few weeks. Andrew and his team gave my stepdad the most fitting and dignified farewell, and that is something our family will always remember.

    If you are looking for a funeral director who genuinely cares, treats every family with compassion and delivers an exceptional level of service, we would recommend Andrew and his team without hesitation.

  • 5 Alan Bridger 19th Jul 2026

  • 5 Andrew Wheeler 19th Jul 2026

    We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone at Thornalley Funeral Services for the outstanding care, kindness and professionalism shown to our family throughout the arrangements for our mum’s funeral.
    Having lost both of our parents within such a short space of time, this has been one of the most difficult periods of our lives. From our very first meeting through to the funeral itself, every member of the team treated us with genuine compassion, patience and respect. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every question or request was handled with understanding and sensitivity.
    The funeral service for Mum on Thursday was beautifully organised and carried out with absolute dignity. Everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to focus on celebrating Mum’s life and saying our final goodbye. The attention to detail was exceptional, and it gave us great comfort knowing that every aspect had been taken care of so professionally.
    A special thank you to Helen Drake, whose warmth, kindness and beautifully delivered service captured Mum perfectly. We are also incredibly grateful to Ollie, Jason and everyone behind the scenes whose hard work and support helped make such a difficult day a fitting and memorable tribute.
    Thank you for helping us give Mum the send-off she truly deserved. Your compassion, professionalism and genuine care will never be forgotten.

    With heartfelt thanks,


    Andy, Pete, Carrie, Emma and all the Wheeler family

  • 5 Shayne Canham 17th Jul 2026

    Professional and compassionate with attention to every detail. I have used Thornalley Funeral Services for both my mum and dad and could not recommend them enough. At one of life's saddest times, they take away all the stress. At my dads recent funeral, it started with a visit to Traci who just organised it all, taking away all the worries. I visited my dad and he was made to look at peace... something I really needed to see. Andrew took over and was like a virtual hug for the whole ceremony. His professionalism had no bounds.

  • 5 Geoffrey Chapman 17th Jul 2026

    You gave my mother a wonderful send off.
    You made mums day that little easier for us as a family, we knew mum would be taken care of and would be given the upmost dignity and respect.
    Thank you so much!
    Love from the Chapman family x

  • 5 Julie Belding 16th Jul 2026

    Andrew, Lorraine and the whole team at Kings Lynn, were so professional and sympathetic to our needs, nothing was too much trouble during a difficult time. 

  • 5 Ivan Bargewell 15th Jul 2026

    All of the staff at Thornallys funeral service in Kings Lynn, could not have done anything more or better in our opinion .
    From the very first phone call to the receptionist, informing them that my mother had passed, and all of the procedures thereafter, the care shown to my mother, the reassurances, the helpfulness with organisation of the service and advice given etc, all the way through to and including of the day of the funeral, the service we, as a family, received from them was exemplary.
    Even the check in phone calls to see how we were coping was certainly not expected but gratefully received.
    Everybody we dealt with was kind compassionate and professional and as a family we could not have thanked them enough for the care and service that was given throughout to all of us.
    Thank you, on behalf of all of the family.
    Kind regards
    Richard Bargewell.

  • 5 Kerry Newton 8th Jul 2026

    Although we chose an unattended cremation for my dad, the care, compassion, and professionalism shown by Thornalley Funeral Services throughout the process were exceptional.

    From our first contact, they treated us with kindness, respect, and understanding, making a difficult time much easier to manage. They explained everything clearly, kept us informed, and handled every detail with dignity and sensitivity.

    Knowing that my dad was in such caring hands gave our family real comfort and peace of mind. We are truly grateful for the support we received and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for compassionate and professional funeral care.

    Thank you for everything you did for our family.
