After the loss of our Dad, Ray and all the staff at Thornalleys were as always highly professional. They showed care, compassion and supported us every step of the way. We were so impressed with the precision and attention to detail at all times. You are a wonderful independent family run business. Thank you so much.

    We have used Thornalleys over the years for family members and would not dream of using anyone else.

Our thanks to Andrew for the sympathetic way in which all the family were treated.

  • 5 Diane Godfrey 15th Jan 2025

    The biggest compliment I can give Andrew and all the staff at Thornalley’s is that they made sure they referred to my Mum in the present tense. It made us feel like she was still with us and meant such a lot at such a sad time. They were polite, respectful and organised at all times and we couldn’t have asked for more from our funeral directors.

    I cannot give enough praise for the service we received from start to finish. From the respect show during collection of my dad all the way throughout the process of visiting him, organising the funeral and then on the day of the funeral its self. Thornalley are consistently gentle, compassionate and thoughtful. there are many small details that make the process so much easier to deal with, they truly think of everything and are ready to help at any time. We would not hesitate to use them again in the future. Thank you to Ray and all the team.
