They couldn’t do enough for us . My mum was given a dignified service which was wonderful for her family after she had dementia and lived in a care home for 8 year’s. A fitting end for the lady she was.

  • 5 Jade Cartwright 29th Mar 2021

    Thank you for everything you have done. 

  • 4 Trish Devine 28th Mar 2021

    Just a couple of minor comments:
    - We only became aware that a double slot at the crematorium was available (on a later day) when speaking to Sharon (Celebrant) about what content we wanted in the service. This may have been nice to be offered this at the very start to avoid any confusion. 
    - Stuart and Grant had to remind the coffin bearers upon entry to Carnarvon Chapel that it was their wish to walk behind the coffin during the entrance music. This information had obviously not been passed on during planning.

    Other than the above, our experience with Murray’s was once again very positive, on the whole. 

    Thank you.
