Very sensitive to our personal wishes and explained the procedures in detail with no pressure to make an immediate decision. There were good communications and the entire process was exemplary and family orientated. We were treated with dignity and respect. We would like to say a special thanks to Ellie and the celebrant Val who we would highly recommend . She displayed compassion and was very thoughtful prior to, during and after the service for Barbara. Kind regards Clifford and family
