Mum had prepaid for her funeral as she didn't want us to additionally distraughtat such a terribly sad time. The whole process was extremely streamlined and professionally dealt with. The service was justasmum would have wanted it. Nothing was too much trouble and we were looked after from start to finish with warmth and respect. Thank you much for everything

Kelly and Lisa were both marvellous. They are so caring and kept in touch throughout.  We couldn’t have asked for better and they made the whole process easier to cope with.  We can’t praise them enough.

    We could not fault the service and compassion we received from all involved. Kelly was so kind and caring and talked us through every step making any changes we wanted, and the celabrant Doug Bedford was also very good and worked well with myself and my son to get the service just how we wanted it for my dad Andy.
