Thornalleys services for my uncles funeral were superb.  They were ultra efficient, sensitive and kind.  They frequently communicated with me and the attention to detail for the little things really impressed me. They come highly recommended.

  • 5 Dawn Nunn 20th Aug 2021

    Ray and his team have recently dealt with both of our parents funerals and have given the utmost care and empathy throughout the whole process making it so much easier for us to deal with the grieving process , and providing a first class funeral that was exactly as we wanted . And giving us the chance to say goodbye with the dignity and respect they both deserved .

  • 5 Janet Newell 19th Aug 2021

    TFS are, l believe,  the most respected funeral directors in this area and thoroughly deserve their
    great reputation.
    Father Ray and Son Andrew show enormous respect to the loved ones of the deceased - I know this first hand having been a recipient of their dignity,kindness and efficiency, together with that of their amazing  staff, following the death of my beloved husband three weeks ago. 
    I cannot  thank them enough - they have all been truly wonderful.

  • 5 Helen Sutherland 9th Aug 2021

    I don't know where to start, from the first phone call on the Saturday Morning after my mum's passing, the respect,support and compassion I received from Ray and his staff was above and beyond.
    At such a difficult time when your head is not fully in the game, it is so reassuring to have that guidance, quietly and unobtrusively by your side every step of the way, nothing is too much trouble, I just can't thank them enough, they look after my mum with such dignity, just as they did with my Dad.
    Thankyou

  • 5 Sally Arnold 9th Aug 2021

    When you lose a loved one unexpectedly and too soon, organising a funeral is heartbreaking and so tough, Thornalley have been absolutely amazing from the first dealings with them through to the funeral and beyond. Amazing people, amazing business. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you and well done to you all from the Arnold Family. x

  • 5 Valerie Green 27th Jul 2021

    Expert, professional advise, treated with dignity, the moment we walked through the door for our appointment to discuss funeral arrangements for our lived one.
    Visits to the Chapel of rest were easily organised for as many times required by the family.
    Follow up phone calls and the ability to pop in to discuss any question or request we may have forgotten was easy and welcome.
    Travelling to the crematorium was respectful.
    A friendly approachable company.

  • 5 Desmond Woodcock 22nd Jul 2021

    We received excellent service from the start. Mum was collected very swiftly and we were kept updated.
    Ray took us through the whole journey and took his time with us. Nothing was rushed and nothing was too much. Ray was in contact a few days before and on the day ensuring we were OK and understood everything. At the funeral Ray was with us all the way through and we were not rushed.
    Behind Ray the girls on the phone, in reception were understanding and very helpful. Even the designer for the order of service was caring and understanding.
    We as a family cannot thank Ray and his team enough.

  • 5 Margaret Cousins 22nd Jul 2021

    Thank you for such a lovely send off, from the first phone call we had the best help with the greatest sympathy every time. Andrew made us so comfortable and is so professional from the start to finish. We can not thank everyone at Thornalley enough for everything they have done at such a hard time.

  • 5 David Janku 21st Jul 2021

  • 5 Dr John Day 19th Jul 2021

    Thornalley provided a personal and professional service; they were patient and understanding, guiding me through the options with patience and aplomb. In particular, Nicole the celebrant they recommended, provided a beautiful reading of the eulogy and delivery that was faultless.
