We cannot praise the team at Thornalley Funeral Services high enough from the initial phone call to arrange collection of our Dad ,throughout the planning process and to the Service they showed compassion and professionalism at every stage. We were given guidance, shown patience with our requests and provided a smooth send off which our family will be forever grateful 🙏 Thank you to Traci and Liam for the care that you gave our Dad Len.
