Arranging a funeral from a distance (200miles) couldn’t have been made easier. All went to plan, the Rolls Royce H25/30 brought a smile to the “boys” faces and the service at Gedling crematorium was perfect for the occasion. Thanks to all staff involved, especially Malcolm and Russell.

A family run business that I can trust
They made a difficult task as simple and as stress free as is possible
Friendly people who know their business very well
This was not the first time I have used their services and I didn't bother looking for an alternative because I know their high standards are hard to beat
Can recommend without hesitation
