The most lovely kind family looking after everything for our beloved mum's final farewell.

Michael Turnbull 9th Jan 2025

TFS was helpful, thoughtful and supportive throughout.. everything went like clockwork and with such a sense of occasion.. I am so glad I chose TFS to look after my wife on her final journey

Zoe Thompson 9th Jan 2025

Andrew, Traci,Lorraine and the rest of the team were very helpful at a really difficult time, and supported me with a very complicated family dynamic in the midst of me grieving and trying to organise the celebration of life service for our Mum. They conducted themselves with professionalism, compassion and clarity at all times, to help me to navigate my way through all of the arrangements on my own due to very limited input from immediate family members, to ensure our Mum had the send off she so very much deserved. Our Mum was treated with dignity care and empathy whilst in the care of Thornalley at the chapel of rest. Nicole the celebrant who conducted our Mum's service, ensured that she supported me to capture the essence of our Mum, by assisting me to devise a personable eulogy for her based off of the information I was able to recall from Mum's life in our initial meeting together, which I provided to her for this, even adding some last minute details from my older sister at very short notice! Despite the family dynamic, Mum had an amazing send off, based off of her previously discussed expressed wishes. We as a family could not have asked for more from Thornalley funeral services. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for the exemplary service our Mum received whilst in your care.

  • 5 Margaret Castleton 12th Dec 2024

    From the day that Thornalley Funeral Directors took my son into their care to the day of his funeral, and afterwards, they have been kind and compassionate.
    Andrew and his team have called to check on our family throughout. 
    The team were patient and our questions were always answered promptly.
    They have now looked after my husband and son and I would not hesitate to recommend their services.
