Carol Corrall 12th Feb 2021

It is always difficult when you loose your husband /best friend. Penny and the team were so supportive at a time when you and your family are coming to term's with their loss. Penny was able to lead us through all procedures with compassion and guidance. The funeral was conducted in a professional and respectful manner. Penny arranged for Sally Winstone (Humanist) to conduct the service an excellent choice. Both Penny and Sally gave us 110% support. Thank you both. Respectfully Carol, Matt, Chris, Ian,Paul and Families

Safe Hands were recommended to us by a friend, always a helpful sign. Penny was caring, compassionate, supportive, helpful and knowledgeable and all who attended in their private chapel or watched Linda's funeral online commented on how well managed it was. No request was too much trouble and I and my family cannot recommend Safe Hands highly enough.
