Thank you all for your care and empathy at a very sad time.

Sarah Gately 8th Mar 2024

Completely professional service from the first initial contact we made right thru to the receiving the final payment request. Cannot rate them highly enough and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. A family firm that employs many people and that have a deep sense of dignity and pride.

Sarah Jane Brooks 7th Mar 2024

It was a beautiful day, with wonderful people looking after us. Because being in a wheelchair was extremely worrying but it was amazing care that I had and my 86year old mum was treated the same. I would also like to mention Keith Brown for such an amazing service for my Husband Gary Brooks.  I can’t thank him enough for such a wonderful service from his Heart.

  • 5 Louise Ulyett 19th Nov 2023

    Mark from Carlton Branch was fantastic, mark had been to see my husband at home as he was terminally poorly, Mark is one of the nicest people you can meet and all of my husbands wishes for his funeral we’re completed.

    Mark kept me up to date throughout from the final plans to the day of the service and after .
    Most of my family have known Mark from the many funerals they have been to , and everyone says the same he’s such a lovely guy .

    My husband was keen to have Mark over see his funeral which was fantastic as Mark did Just that and more he made it feel more personal and he shows a real care for the deceased. 

    Emma was also amazing if I couldn’t speak to Mark  she kept me up dated.

    Well done Carlton Branch ❤️

    Once again Mark was amazing , my husband was only 42 but the care and compassion showed to us at an awful time was made a little easier by Mark , it was a big funeral with lots of little extra bits that my husband requested but nothing was too much trouble. 

    Thank you again Mrs U x

    A.W. Lymn, Carlton Team replied
    Thank you Louise for such a wonderful review. I feel the arrangements we made together were so poignant because I, indeed, spoke at length to you and Grant before the actual sad event. I am so pleased that we at Carlton were able to give you the support you needed. Thank you again. Mark.
