The team at Stowmarket have made a very difficult time more easier with their kindness.  Everyone showed such compassion for my late Dad, always there if we needed advice of any kind.  They were so thoughtful and caring.

    Stowmarket funeral care were sympathetic, understanding and accommodating for the funeral of our Mum. My brother lives in America and we had some time delays that Stowmarket Funeral Care were more tha happy to help with. Linda the Humanist was superb, get to Mum's personality very quickly, with everyone saying "what a lovely services". We had a very fraught situation with my brothers family flying into the UK, but to have everything run so smoothly, how could we not recommend Stowmarket Funeral Care.
