The passing and loss of our dad was made slightly more bearable by the thoughtful service provided by Biffens. Sarah was understanding and considerate and listened to our wishes and memories in order to help prepare a service that celebrated our dad’s life. It was a very hard day but Biffens helped to make it slightly less so. Many thanks to Sarah and her team X
