5Claire Spencer23rd Jan 2020
We as a family cannot fault the way we were treated with both my mother's funeral back in 2002, and then more recently with my father's funeral. Right from the beginning they acted very professionally but at the same time sympathetic...nothing was too much trouble...we were never rushed, we were given plenty of time deciding on what we wanted and we felt that our loss was theirs. Although there was sadness on the actual funeral day, there was also tears of joy just because of the way we were treated.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. We are glad that you received the same high level of service from us at the time of arranging your father's funeral as you did when you arranged your mother's, and that the team were both professional and sympathetic. Thank you.
