5David Glicenstein 20th Jan 2023
I have been very touched by the infinite kindness of Jessica and Mark who could not have been more helpful and supportive during what was the saddest of times. They made what is no doubt a difficult and complicated process relatively easy and were always there to answer all questions, whatever their nature, with great tact and competence. I extend my thanks equally to Jackie who was there on the day of the funeral and who again was delicate and kind in her approach to the proceedings.
Thank you all.

5Jamie Moran11th Dec 2022
Throughout, Jess has been superb. She was extremely conscientious and personable while remaining professional at all time.
Extremely organised and had often preempted any questions or requests before they occurred to us.
Communication was flawless and she has made the whole experience as smooth, peaceful and pleasant as possible.
On the day, all staff were wonderful. They were considerate and respectful without making the day anymore sad than it already was.
I have been involved with 2 recent funerals with this team and I would highly recommend them to others in the future.
Thanks from all of the family.
A.W. Lymn, Carlton Team replied

Mark and Jess were absolutely amazing through the whole process. Such lovely people and really made the worst time in my life a little easier.
They were happy to accommodate for absolutely anything we needed, and I mean anything. They wanted to take all the stress out of the situation and they really did.

Thank you so much for everything they have done and are continuing to do, I really have appreciated it.

Simply excellent. It's hard to find the words to fully describe the outstanding service we received as a family - from the start right through to our last interaction after their service had finished. And this was not a one-off either - I've used them in the past and know of other people that say the same.
Thanks
