Irish and Denman handled the whole process with sensitivity and professionalism. Everyone we met with displayed a caring and calm manner while sorting out any issues, when they arose, sympathetically and swiftly. Ross and Jude made a difficult situation bearable and gave my brother the perfect send off. Many thanks.
