    Farmer and sons have recently supported us with organizing our moms celebration of life (funeral). From the moment we walked in Christine made us feel so welcome. Following our initial meeting we spoke to Christine many times and always felt listened to. She is such a kind, caring and sincere lady.

    On the day of our moms last farewell the undertakers who took her on her final journey were absolutely fantastic and spoke to me about everything from the time that they arrived at my moms house until they dropped us back off at the wake. I was overwhelmed by this as there was a few little things that I wanted to do to make the day extra special and they were more than happy to sort this out which took all of the pressure away from myself and my brothers.

    Everyone commented on what a beautiful send off our mom had and many mentioned that it was the best one that they had. ever attended.

    Thank you to everyone who helped us to give our mom the send off that she truly and honestly deserved.

    As a family we are totally heartbroken and are still coming to terms with the loss of our amazing mom, however, we will always be extremely grateful for the support given during this time and for helping us to give our mom the best send off possible.
