Kate Flaxman 16th Jan 2023

We can't fault the care and professionalism Ray and his staff gave us. The dignity and respect on the day of dad's funeral was appreciated. Andrew was extremely attentive and supportive when collecting us etc The phone calls I received regularly from Ray keeping us updated with the arrangements and also simply to let us know he was thinking of us, meant such a lot. Thornally together with Janet Qualters, Celebrant made a heartbreaking difficult day, bearable for us all to cope. Thank you so very much for your kindness.

Gwendoline Edwards 14th Jan 2023

At an emotional and stressful time, Ray and his team proved to be an excellent support. They were professional, friendly and their attention to small details was second to none. Ray had plenty of time and frequently checked to see that our family were okay. We did not feel rushed both in decision making or indeed on the day of the funeral. We would not hesitate to recommend Thornalley funeral Services to others.

  • 5 David Finney 9th Jan 2023

    From the initial first meeting, we felt confident Thornally would provide what we wanted. Everyone involved was competent, understanding, and very sincere. They listened and phoned regularly to ensure everything was OK and that we were happy with the decisions we had made. On the day of the funeral they were professional, compassionate and we could not recommend them more in providing an outstanding service on such a sad occasion.

  • 5 Annette Hodgson 8th Jan 2023

    Very professional service, lots of clear helpful information about what needed to be done. Highly respectful and efficient.

  • 5 Deborah Bannister 1st Jan 2023

    Very pleased with the excellent service provided at both start and finish, from the introduction meeting to sorting everything out ( arranging funeral/ helping with obituary for local paper/online).  You done us very proud, an excellent service for our late husband/father. Thornalley funeral team we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion caring and understanding at our sad time. For peace of mind, we recommend Thornalley Funeral Services 100% they take care of all aspects 

  • 5 John Taylor 1st Jan 2023

    Wow!!, where do I begin. From the first visit to TFS we had a sympathetic welcome from Andrew and Steph. Steph was our guide through the whole process over the next 2 weeks leading up the funeral on Thursday 29th December.
    So gentle, sympathetic, caring and humble when advising us about flowers, visits to the chapel of rest was almost "open house" for me and my family providing we gave Steph some notice of our next visit.
    Andrew was brilliant as leader of their team, again caring and in touch with us on a regular basis during the process. Jayne got a perfect "send-off" and I am delighted that we chose TFS.
    Huge thanks from John & the family. xxxxxxx
