Following the death of our father Simon & his team were both caring & supportive. They treated him with dignity & respect throughout. They were available to us at any time with any questions or concerns we had & nothing was be too much trouble for them. They helped guide us through a very difficult time, from Simon's first visit to us through the day of the funeral itself. Special mention to James who both in person & over the telephone has a very empathetic manner.
