    From my mum being taking into the care of John fairest to her funeral everything was explained and taken care of.
    We had the same celebrant that did my dad's funeral 2 years previously. morag was very understanding and patient. morag offered suggestions on wording and was very supportive.
    Sam the funeral director was very patient and empathetic, I did not feel rushed into making decisions or forced into choosing something I did not want. Sam was very knowledgeable and it was lovely that he was able to support from start to finish. All staff in the building were helpful and supportive. Highly recommended for anyone needing to hold and organise a funeral.
