Sarah Bickell 5th Dec 2024

I would like to thank all the lovely team from Thornalley for helping me through such a difficult time losing my beloved husband Pete. From first contact they were respectful, caring, showed empathy and so professional. A personal thank-you to Liam for his support on the day and also to Helen Drake the celebrant who did such a wonderful service. I cannot recommend them highly enough. With thanks, Sarah Bickell x

Maureen Bridges 5th Dec 2024

From start to finish Andrew and his staff were exceptional,  caring and supportive nothing was too much for them.  Andrew called me weekly to check in with me, seeing if I was ok and coping.  It’s not the best time of anyone’s life,  losing a loved one,  but Thornally’s helped me enormously through the process.  I cannot recommend them enough.

Elizabeth Westhead 4th Dec 2024

Everyone at Thornalley went out of their way to ease the pain. Nothing was too much trouble and my husband was treated with respect and dignity. Thank you seems inadequate. You are the best for a reason. Elizabeth Westhead

    I can’t praise highly enough how helpful, kind and considerate everyone at Thornalley was in my time of need. And still left an opening for me to contact them even after the event. Wonderful! 

  • 5 Susan Porter 1st Dec 2024

    Mr Ray Thornalley and his team are exceptional. Compassionate beyond words. Attention to even the smallest of details for Mr Burton were essential, every request I made was met, even the most complicated. Mr Thornalley himself and his driver Richard enabled me to carry out Mr Burtons greatest and final wish. It is my considered opinion that no other Funeral Director would have achieved this to such a high standard. There are no other words that I can write that would convey my immense gratitude. Susan Porter.

  • 5 Susan Reeve 30th Nov 2024

    Andrew and the team are second to none. The personal service, dedication and care they provide to those who have lost a loved one takes the worries away. They are exemplary and keep you informed every step of the way. These are the people to go to at a time of bereavement.

  • 5 Hayley Barnes 28th Nov 2024

    Everyone was kind and compasionate at all times. Thank you all, especially Traci and Andrew for your personal touches.
    I will recommend your services for others who are faced with arranging a funeral when it is so emotional they need to know people who care are supporting them with the process.
    Thank you

    I have nothing but praise for the way my Dad’s funeral was managed and my Dad was taken care of. 
    We were fully informed at each step of the process, felt able to approach always with any questions we had. With each member of staff being kind, sensitive, patient and competent.
    We as a family had every confidence that entrusting you with the care of Jack would be faultless and we were not let down. 
    Thank you to each and every one of you.
