  • 5 Paul Marshall 4th Dec 2022

    Assistance in the planning of the funeral was friendly, professional  and overall excellent. The funeral itself on the day was reverent, beautifully carried out and all participants involved in carrying out the funeral of my late brother John, made his family feel that he had been put to rest in peaceful and thoughtful manner. Well done and most appreciated. I look forward to the internment of his ashes in March 2023 and further assistance from your staff.

    The team were compassionate and caring towards me and my late mum. I had some requests after she has passed like wanting her dress laid a certain way and what id like put in her hands.
    She was to have subtle make up and a spray of perfume on. They obliged. Made me feel she would be well looked after as i was longer able to.
    Lisa was wonderful on the lead up to and on the day. I didn't feel anxious at all.

  • 5 Jacquie Rosenthal 23rd Aug 2022

    All my dealings with Lisa and Kerry were handled with sensitivity and care. Explanations of the processes involved were explained clearly and understandably. They dealt with problems efficiently and on the day of the funeral, the manner in which Lisa helped me manage my distress and her calm management of proceedings was exemplary and hugely appreciated both by me and my family.
    Thank you both for making a truly distressing time more manageable.
