Karen has asked me to pass on her thanks to you for taking the time to leave this lovely review and is glad that the service itself ran with style and dignity. She is only sorry that after speaking to Mr Willows himself it was necessary for you to make contact with her so soon, especially over the Christmas Holidays.

5Robert Platten 12th Jun 2017
Many thanks to Karen Horton, nothing was too much trouble for her, and she went out of her way to ensure my late wife Sandra had the best possible care and consideration in how we wanted her to be treated.
Karen went through the whole process with the utmost respect and care. Helping me and my family sorting everything out to ensure that everything went without a hitch.
I would also like to thank the Drivers & poll bearers who treated Sandra with the utmost respect and dignity.
Many thanks

DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!,excellent from start to finish.Karen at Sutton In Ashfield branch was brilliant,no pressure,no 'salesman' tactics,extremely helpfull,nothing was too much trouble.Karen should be promoted!,if she is already at the highest rank you should invent a higher one just so she can be promoted to that! :-).ps if you need a 'non religious' speaker at the funeral service,i would highly recomend a gentleman called Adam Humphries (ask karen about him),lovely bloke,did an excellent job,all was perfect!.

5Paul Redgate9th Dec 2016
Firstly we would like to say that Karen treated us with dignity care and compassion she was hard working my and nothing was too much effort we became to rely on Karen and treated her as our friend
The day of the funeral was arranged to a t, sleek dignified and with class
Jonathon was excellent addressing my mother first and knowing our names made us feel like he knew us he was fantastic
The transport was spotlessly clean , the casket was beautiful and the pall bearers respectful and dignified
Small touches such as name labels, the candles in the chapel of rest, the memorial book made us feel that we had given my dad the best send off possiblwe cannot thank the team and Karen enough
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your kind and detailed review of the service provided by the team at Sutton. As a relatively new member of the team it is wonderful to hear that Karen is such an asset to us and that she looked after you with such dignity and compassion. It is also great to hear that all the little details made such a difference to you and that Jonathan made your mother and the rest of your family feel at ease on the day. Thank you.
