    Wonderful service, so pleased we went with you. You took the worry out of the whole process and made it totally seamless. We were treated with great care and courtesy, you were totally professional throughout and yet still gave it a caring and personal touch. All our wishes were catered for throughout without us having to fret about anything, everything we’d asked for happened just when it was needed.  You kept in touch and kept us informed from first to last. Thank you all so much for taking the worry and stress out of a very sad time.
