Jim Hall 24th Jan 2024

A truly 5* professional service from beginning to end.

Diane Bouskill 23rd Jan 2024

Thank you Andrew for the reassuring manner in which you handled the funeral of our dear friend. From our first meeting with you, in which you explained all the procedures, until the last notes at the end of the funeral service, everything was handled sensitively and with unhurried support. Thank you to all the staff with whom we came into contact - at the office, and at the crematorium - to Janet the celebrant who listened patiently to our ideas for the funeral, to those who seamlessly managed the service, the respectful handling of the coffin, the music, the photos, the readings. We appreciated all your support in helping us to celebrate our friend's long life.

Julia Oram 22nd Jan 2024

    All staff looked after us , at our sad Time.
    Would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Karen Emblem 21st Jan 2024

    From the moment I walked into the office without an appointment the day after mother passed, I was met with professionalism, care and compassion. Nothing was too much trouble. They guided and supported and kept in touch along the way. A personal hiccup in the day of the funeral meant that some arrangements had to be changed but again nothing was too much trouble. They were faultless and showed genuine concern for me, my dad and family. 

  • 5 Stella Owens 21st Jan 2024

  • 5 Simon Marten 8th Jan 2024

    Very helpful and respectful, guided me through all that needed doing. Always prompt to answer queries and explain our options and helped give our mum the funeral she’d have wanted.
    Access to Obitus meant my far-flung family could all listen and choose music from our own homes which really helped get a consensus. Memory giving online was also very easy and convenient. 
    Thank you to Andrew Traci etc for all their help.

    We are fortunate that at a difficult time we have such a caring and professional funeral service to take care of our needs. This is the 3rd time in less than 2 years I've used Thornalley's and this time, as previously, their commitment to ensuring we were able to get through this difficult time with as little stress and worry as possible, is second to none.
