    We knew we wanted an independent funeral director for Mum/nans funeral and so we visited Isobel and immediately on being greeted we knew she was the one for us. Isobel is knowledgeable, warm and friendly and will go above and beyond to ensure the funeral You get is exactly what you wanted. She arranged everything with such professionalism, always kept us informed of everything we needed to know. After our funeral service we had such wonderful comments on the service our mum/nan had and how beautiful and special it was that her final goodbye was one so specifically tailored to her. A huge thank you to Izzy and her team for all their hard work. Jaime and Children x

    Isobel,
    Was thoughtful, caring and sensitive throughout the process including the somewhat tedious admin pieces.
    She is able to bring a lighter tone to the conversations and it made what could have been a dismal and depressing time much easier.
    I would highly recommend Isobel
    And especially as she is an independent bringing the special personal touch
