Just brilliant

Sharon Pemberton was so kind and professional. I couldn’t have asked for such lovely service in such awful times. Nothing was too much trouble and the arranged celebrant, Pauline was kindness itself

Sally Tully 13th Mar 2024

The support and care shown by all the staff was exemplary. They guided us through what needed to be done with great kindness and professionalism. Their help and guidance was very much appreciated at a very sad time.

    The staff were very helpful , supportive and compassionate.  I live a long way from where we held the funeral but they found away to sort things out.  Each time a call was made it was dealt with quickly and efficiently

    There is not space here to express how excellent this service was. The funeral director - Sharon- was so very professional and compassionate and her attention to detail could not have been better. I was grieving and she supported me as well as making sure that my brother's funeral was of the very highest standard. It genuinely went like clockwork but with a very warm, compassionate and dignified atmosphere. I will be eternally grateful.
