My sister Rachel and I were very pleased with Susan and her team... They were extremely warm, kind and compassionate at a very difficult and sad time.. Also her celebrant Melanie lead heartwarming service and exactly how our mother would have wanted it.. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending to anyone.

The professionalism and care extended to myself and family was excellent. My Father treated with the utmost dignity. I personally went to see my Dad in the chapel of rest each morning. I was made to feel welcome and never felt that it was an easy nconvenience
