  • 5 Wayne Romney 5th Feb 2026

    I cannot speak highly enough of Stefanie, Jo and the rest of the team. Dealing with the death of our sister was dreadful, but the manner in which we were supported was truly touching. Literally every aspect was handled in a considerate and professional manner.
    I initially wanted to choose an independent funeral director, hoping for a more personal service, and i could not have wished for a better service. The family were all incredibly touched by our dealings with the team, and they have our eternal thanks.

  • 5 Gemma Roberts 5th Feb 2026

    My mom’s wish when the day came (sadly it was way sooner than expected) was to have her funeral and be under the care of Steph and team.

    They didn’t disappoint each and every member has been kind, supportive, caring and loving at such a difficult time.And even after the funeral they are there.

    I could not recommend this funeral directors enough.

    I arranged everything with jo, who was extremely helpful, she listened to everything I had said about past experiences with other funerals and a different company, even to how my partner was positioned in the coffin, he was also clean shaved , jo has continued to support me with documents and just talking through things , what a wonderful person with the deepest sympathy and understanding, I felt as if it was Jo's relative , just wonderful service
