During an especially difficult time everyone at Thornalleys offered such kindness, compassion, understanding & support, whilst professional & respectful at all times and their attention to detail is outstanding, most of all we genuinely felt they cared, they're a wonderful example of a local, family owned business, and I can't thank them enough.

    From the beginning when my aunt died to when the funeral took place Thornally offered the best service possible whilst also being very kind to all of our family in such a testing time. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

  • 5 John Beirne 5th Oct 2023

    We were so impressed with the service provided by Thornalley Funeral Service we could definitely recommend them.   We were treated like a family friend and not a customer.  Nothing was too difficult for the team to arrange or sort out.  All options were discussed and nothing was forced upon you.  The journey from initially visiting Thornalley's to the funeral service was impeccable.  The whole team were friendly, courteous and sincere.  Their standards were meticulous and the attention to detail was faultless.  Thank you for the effort you all put in, and making the send of a majestic occasion.

  • 5 Margaret Steward 5th Oct 2023

    Everything I asked for was done and the funeral passed very smoothly. I hope not to have to arrange another funeral but if I did it would be with Thornalley.

  • 5 Michael Tunmore 2nd Oct 2023

    The team at Thornalley Funeral Services have the experience, and take the time to get to know the families they are helping through a difficult time. The first time we entrusted them with arrangements for a family member, they were so understanding and efficient that we asked them to help us all set-up our funeral plans. Least week was my Mothers funeral, the service provided only reaffirmed our decision to put our trust in Ray, Andrew, their family and team.

  • 5 David Fysh 2nd Oct 2023

    A very lovely service and incredibly nice staff willing to go the extra mile.

  • 5 Melanie Willoughby 1st Oct 2023

    Several of our family have used Thornalleys and I have always been impressed by them, so they were a natural choice for my loved one's funeral. Thornalleys provided an excellent service at every stage. Their care and compassion, for my loved and myself, was second to none and I felt very well supported through a very difficult time.
    I am very grateful to everyone at Thornalleys for everything they have done and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.

  • 5 Valmai Drennan 1st Oct 2023

  • 5 Paul Dunning 25th Sep 2023

    Ray and his staff were excellent - kind and professional throughout the process. I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thanks for everything you’ve done.

  • 5 David Fagan 25th Sep 2023

    The initial booking with Tracy was very informative and helpful and subsequent calls with Dean were also helpful. The actual funeral at the crematorium was as we had asked, short and to the point and again Dean excelled on the day. 
    The whole business made things easier for us all. 
    Thank you

  • 5 Reverend Susan Martin 22nd Sep 2023

    Thornalley Funeral Services go above and beyond in their care,support and compassion. Their attention to all the details that matter so much at the time of death are a huge comfort. From beginning to end, their support for myself and our families was superb and I could rest assured that all was well.

    Andrew was unfailing in his understanding of the emotional turmoil that I was feeling and dealt with everything so calmly and professionally. He has a real gift and calling for this service along with his father, Ray and their team.

    The funeral attended by 150 people at King's Lynn Minster was carried out perfectly.

    I highly recommend Thornalleys Funeral Services for a perfect funeral and all accompanying services.
