Very professional service

Barbara Gardener 25th Mar 2024

All those involved treated me with kindness and respect. Every request I made was responded to with patience and understanding. This seems to be a very busy funeral business and it would-be easy for staff to get blasé but I saw no evidence of this, quite the opposite.
