Excellent and very professional service. I couldn't have asked for better for my dad. Many thanks to the entire Fairest team.

Steven Exley 5th Dec 2023

Excellent service from organising the funeral to picking up the ashes, mainly led by Kristy but all other staff we came across were also excellent.  Handled with sensitivity and made the process easy during a stressful time for the family.
