Very respectful with no pressure to make decisions about music, order of service etc. Kept me informed every step of the way,and nothing was too much trouble for them. I dealt with Kerry on Abbey Lane, who was lovely. Couldn't praise her more.

Nichola Varga 11th Jul 2022

When booking my fathers funeral,I specifically asked for 45 minutes for the service as family members had prepared a timed service for that duration and we had to cut it short with the accompanying violinist.I was told by the funeral director on the day that we only had 30 minutes and 15 minutes outside.So this left us unfortunately feeling disappointed

  • 5 Tracey Warrington Bright 12th Apr 2022

    the most wonderful staff, in our case Kerry was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble for her despite the constant obstacles we threw in her way, she kept me updated throughout and her advice was well informed and always available. a personal touch and always a smile given.... we were later joined by Angela who again was completely professional, courteous and patient throughout all the procedures. We as a family couldn't possibly find a negative word to say about our experience if we tried. Overall, an extremely positive experience thank you
