Thank you for the excellent service and support when organising our mother's funeral . The whole process was made so much easier by the highly experienced , professional yet approachable team .

Derrick White 2nd Mar 2024

All staff very professional, can't think of anything doing differently. They kept in touch and with us during our 4 weeks wait for the crematorium. They went the extra mile when we wanted things adding in. Would definitely recommend and use them again. Thanks especially to Jon Kirkham, what a star.

Rebecca Kellaway 24th Feb 2024

    I cannot thank Jon and the team enough for the love, support and compassion they have shown myself and my family during this difficult time. We were gently guided through the whole process by Jon, who whilst allowing us to make the decisions of how and what we wanted for the funeral, took care of all arrangements including the celebrant, flowers and even arranging a venue for the funeral tea.
    Thank you to you all, you are amazing.

Thank you.
