  • 5 Jeremy Allen 2nd Mar 2021

    We cannot thank Andrew & the Team enough for their wonderful support and send- off for our Dad. They were absolutely superb. From the difficult first initial contact- and for their friendly and professional guidance throughout.
    All of which led to a lovely and fitting Service.

    Excellent all round.

  • 5 Margaret Mason 28th Feb 2021

    Amid all the problems encountered your service was excellent. Thankyou so much.

  • 5 Andrew Everitt 28th Feb 2021

    Thornalley have now dealt with the funerals of all four of our respective parents, two during pre-COVID days, and two during the Pandemic itself. When the last two died, within 3 weeks of each other, we did not hesitate to contact them. Once again we were met with care and professionalism by the whole team. When things went wrong, such as when a wedding ring went missing at the hospital mortuary and when the Crematorium had a power cut on the day of one of the funerals, we were met with calm and an attitude of “leave it to us – we’ll sort this for you”. Each funeral was handled to reflect the individual – we did not feel they (or we) were “turning the handle” for yet another elderly person. We never felt as if we were bothering them with detail and indeed always came away feeling that now we had LESS to worry about and could therefore focus our thoughts on our loved one. As a family firm they understand families, and although we as individuals did the interfacing with them, they took account of the feelings and needs of other members of the wider family. We cannot recommend Thornalley enough!

    A first class service from Thornalley Funeral Services. Thoroughly professional throughout. From the initial enquiry to the service itself, everything was handled with empathy and kindness. Without doubt Ray and his team helped make what was a very difficult day for my family a little bit easier.

  • 5 Karen Lester 19th Feb 2021

    Can't thank the team enough for the way they dealt with our bereavement and the care and compassion they showed me after the passing of my dear mum. Excellent service and professional throughout.

    Highly recommended

  • 5 Susan Threlfall 18th Feb 2021

    Ray, Andrew and the whole team were outstanding in their care, compassion and professionalism. I had a number of specific requirements and requests, which were dealt with so well that I could not fault any part of their work. My song was played by the team at the back of the church, as I was not allowed to sing it live.The service sheets are beautiful and I am proud to be able to send them to Mum's friends who were not able to attend, partly because of distance but also because of the current restrictions on numbers allowed at the service. I loved the way the Director of the funeral party, in this case Andrew but in the case of my father Harry a few years ago it was Ray, tapped the ground to let the coffin bearers know when they were correctly placed for the next step in the proceedings. I know that the headstone is going to be perfect, as they check every step with me. I would like to extend my and my family's grateful thanks for making such a difficult time a little easier with their kindness. Bless you all and stay well.
