    When I lost my partner, I was overcome with grief and the overwhelming organizational requirements for the funeral of a loved one. Thank heavens a friend Rev David Skeet recommended Andrew at Lyndon M Leeson, Funeral Directors. They were excellent in every way! Their attention to detail, compassionate help and sympathetic understanding, combined to deliver the best farewell I could have wished for my partner. The entire funeral was without fault from beginning to end. From the printing of the order of service, the displays within the crematorium, the music and the seating - everything was produced effortlessly and with sympathetic understanding.
    I cannot thank Andrew at Lyndon M Leeson enough for making the funeral of Michael Hutchinson, the beautiful farewell he so richly deserved.
