Debbie Carlton 22nd Nov 2022

Feeling extremely anxious about contacting the funeral directors initially I was completely put at ease the moment I phoned and spoke to Lois. When I visited in person Will was so helpful and guided me all the way through to the day of Dads funeral.  The day went perfectly and was a truly fitting send off to my dad. Even afterwards I’ve spoken to Will, Richard & Lois on numerous occasions with regard to the next steps. They couldn’t have been any more helpful, caring & considerate during a time when you feel at your most vulnerable & lost.  I know it’s part of the job but it is more than that. Nothing is too much trouble.  Thank you so much  Debbie carlton

    The care and compassion that was shown to both Dad and us as a family by Will and Richard, was outstanding. Very friendly, supportive and dignified. They turned an extremely difficult time for us, into what we can now look back on, and describe as the perfect day for Dad. They went above and beyond to make everything easier for us all. It was reassuring to know that Dad was in their care. Thank you so very much. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend your service.
