  • 5 Alison Coulson 23rd Aug 2026

    I’m so pleased I chose Falsgrave Funeral services for my precious husband’s final journey. Adam was so kind, so accommodating and everything on the day was absolutely perfect. At a very sad time he was there supporting us and just making sure everything went seamlessly. I never felt rushed or pressured into making quick decisions and there was definitely no hard sell. His team were wonderful and my husband was so well looked after during his time with them. The florist Adam recommended to us surpassed herself.  All my family and friends commented on what a wonderful service it was and that was only possible because of the excellent support we received. A funeral is the final act you do for your loved one. I can honestly say that it was exactly what I wanted and needed. I highly recommend Falsgrave Funeral Services. Thank you for helping us celebrate my husband and for all the support you gave us.
