Joanne Holmes 1st Aug 2022

We cannot thank Susan, Mandy, Joanne and the team enough.  Nothing was too much trouble, they dealt with everything from our first meeting to the service with such professionalism, thoughtfulness and consideration. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Dominique Marples 12th Jul 2022

From the moment we stepped into the building, we were taken care of and supported and listened to, and everything was made easier for us at a very difficult time. We had the funeral we wished for, with the funeral directors at our side. I would always recommend Susan Whymark

    The services were caring and compassionate and made a difficult time much easier. I wouldnt hesitate in recommending Susan's services to anyone.

  • 5 Tessa Prior-Thompson 2nd Jul 2022

    Susan and her colleagues were absolutely wonderful. The organisation of a funeral comes at a bad time, when all you want to do is grieve, but they made it easy by suggesting choices, making sure everything happened as it should, chasing me up nicely when I forgot things. It all made an exceptional farewell for my darling sister.

    Susan Whymark replied
    Tessa, it was my privilege to help you with Sarah's arrangements. What an amazing lady. Always here. Susan

    Wonderful, caring and warm. At a time when my world had fallen apart they helped take some of the stress out of a very difficult time.

    Susan and her staff provided my mother and father with a wonderful service. From the beginning there was a feeling of care and support right through to the funeral and internment. The planning was sensitive and detailed , if feel if we were being dealt with by an extended caring family.

    Susan is wonderful. She has conducted funerals for both my father and recently my mother. She is incredibly kind and empathetic.
    The whole service is professional and felt very safe in their hands. I would thoroughly recommend them.

  • 5 Mike Tritton 1st Mar 2022

    We could not fault Susan Whymark and her wonderful team. A huge thank you to Mandy Porter who became our main point of contact. Even last minute changes to the order of service, that may have seemed trivial to some, were no problem at all. Nothing was too much trouble for them, even the robin in the tree singing is heart out added a special touch. The day went so well the most often heard comment as we left the chapel was "that was the nicest service we have been to" which from the ladies in the WI is praise indeed and the fitting send-off we had planned for a very special lady.

    Mandy Porter replied
    Such kind words, thank you.
    Best wishes

    Mandy
  • 5 Betty Chittock 15th Feb 2022
