Total stranger turned up at the family home not the person who we dealt with. Scratched coffin when told it would be replaced and wasn’t.Maria rang two days later to see if everything was okay with the service provided. I mentioned that she was going to travel in the hurse with Trevor and myself her response was I can’t be in two places at once. Regads
