I truly could not have asked for better at a time when we were struggling with our loss. Warren and Craig, I cannot thank you enough. You are so thoughtful and compassionate. I can see why this family firm have been in business for so long. Again, heartfelt thanks.

    As a family we have now used this small family of undertakers a number of times. Warren and Jonathan are so caring and passionate about your loved ones who have passed, they are very considerate, thoughtful and very kind when they visit your home to discuss your plans. The team they have are exceptional, from the receptionist through to their drivers and pall bearers. I would 100% recommend this wonderful family run business to anyone.

    From calling them following mum's passing to us being dropped off to our venue following the cremation service, the service received was impeccable. The staff are very professional, patient and compassionate. They know their job inside out and did everything possible to make sure we were informed, and that we understood everything that was going to happen. I cannot thank them enough for the lovely service received. I highly recommend them.

  • 5 Diane Round 11th Feb 2023

    I helped my step dad and mum pre plan their funerals several years ago with warren who came to their house. He made a very difficult discussion easy and we even had a few laughs. The team took great care of my step dad Derek 7 years ago and Mum only a week ago. We loved them both so much but knew that warren and the team would take care of them both. Even arranging for our mums dog friend to attend her funeral as she had asked. 43 years ago they looked after our Dad. I was only 13 at the time but I know they must have been very respectful and professional for mum to choose them for her all those years later. So thank you. You made extremely dark times in our lives a tiny bit more bearable

  • 5 Jessica Thornton 31st Jan 2023
