    Ray Thornally provided the best service anyone could wish for. He was able to answer any question put to him and he did so in a compassionate and reassuring manner. All of his staff are helpful, kind and generous and did all that they could to help my family and me in our time of need Thank you all very much.

  • 5 Christopher Underdown 21st Apr 2023

    Having used Thornally for my mother's funeral ten years ago I had no hesitation in asking them to organise my wife's funeral. From the first approach to the end of the ceremony the whole process was so professional yet with the personal touches of a family company. Every consideration and request was met seamlessly.

    Thoroughly recommended.

  • 5 Bryan Howling 20th Apr 2023

  • 5 Suzanne Yates 17th Apr 2023

    Following the funeral of my mum, Carol I am very happy to give heartfelt feedback.   The entire response to our request to Ray and his company to complete this is a decision I will never regret.  At a very difficult time, they responded to our family and held the bespoke service which was very comforting to us.  A very professional and sensitive service which makes all the difference.

  • 5 Susan Corner 15th Apr 2023

    There are no other Funeral Directors locally we would ever consider using. The genuine understanding, compassion & respect they have shown to us and our dearly departed has been without question excellent. They are a family run business and this shows in the extra steps they take to ensure all passes without any issues…..Thank you so much, Sue, Barry & family.

  • 5 Sally Lonsdale 14th Apr 2023

    A very professional and well organised day, everything went as planned from start to finish. With a well presented eulogy and tribute, and wonderful photo display. Making the day more of remembering the life of our relative, rather than the loss.

    Thank you to everybody involved.
