  • 5 Jonathan Chamberlain 6th Sep 2025

    Thornalley provided the most faultless service for our family. They run a highly professional outfit and catered for our every need at all points in the process. We were treated kindly and with great respect and were kept informed at all times. Importantly, they accommodated for our specific needs and requirements, filling us with great confidence that everything was truly being taken care of and we never felt the need to worry about  a single detail. I feel that we really did my mother proud and cannot imagine that anything could have been done any better. It’s a 100% rating from my brother and I. A combination of fine weather, a wonderful horse-drawn hearse and Thornalley’s professionalism gave us a very special family occasion which we will treasure always. Thank You!


    Funeral Services are the most professional
