    The service from Farmer and Son was exceptional from start to finish, they helped and advised throughout and helped what was an emotional time! I felt Dad was looked after and that gave me comfort and the service was lovely and just how I wanted it and they went the extra mile for me and a week later took my dads ashes to be put into my moms grave, which was exactly where he wanted to be! Thank you for your time and consideration. Annette

    I am sure that what I am going to say will be of no surprise to you.

    Chrissie Charles organised my father's funeral some 9 years ago and extended to us her courtesy, her empathy and her professionalism.

    That is the reason why we came back to Chrissie to arrange Mom's funeral service in March 2023. Again Chrissie treated us exactly the same as she did 9 years ago, she always goes the extra mile and she is a huge asset to your company.

    Thank You Chrissie
