Liam and his team were excellent service providers. They were very empathetic and caring at all times. We were able to speak to them about anything regarding my mum, her care and her beautiful funeral. Thank you for trying to make this awful day as special as possible for my lovely mum. Thank you again to all of your team Zoe Potter

Superb bunch of people, warm & friendly yet respectful. From the time I called them late on a Friday night right through to collecting my wife's ashes they couldn't have been more helpful. Though everything had been sorted out via a Funeral Plan (well worth doing as it saves a lot of decision making at the worst time in one's life) The S&R team arranged times for picking up the Death Certificate and for registering it at The Registry Office, I didn't have to do a thing, they did it for me. THEY WERE SUPERB. While I'm her let me do a plug for Funeral Plans: My first worry was that the Funeral Directors cease trading. NO worry, you don't pay them, you pay into a trust , so if your nominated funeral director goes bust it is automatically picked up by another Funeral Director that is a member of the trust. If funeral prices go up? No worries again, you have paid for the service, if costs go up it is borne by the trust fund. If you want extras not covered by the initial plan such as an extra car then, of course, you will have to pay the going rate.
