    Thank you at the team in Sherburn for looking after my mum and conducting her funeral . I found the team respectful and professional. A special mention to the celebrant Jane that they organised for us she was amazing and spoke so beautifully about my mum .

  • 5 Anne O'Brien 21st Feb 2023

    Everything that was organised by Jane&Debbie was good on every level, very helpful and supportive. On arrival the delay of 20mins in entering the chapel due to previous services running over and having to stand outside was not appreciated,this however was not the fault of Thorntons.

  • 5 Steven Goodman 6th Feb 2023

    Thorntons in Sherburn in Elmet ( Debbie and Jane) were exceptionally professional in dealing with everything involving my dads funeral. 
    As a result the arrangements and funeral went without a hitch.

  • 5 Robert Weavill 7th Jan 2023

    First hand experience just at a time when i needed it.

  • 5 Deborah Gower 4th Jan 2023

    Jane and Debbi at Thorntons have been absolutely fantastic throughout.  They provided the perfect mix of sympathy, compassion, understanding and humour, which helped me progress through the most difficult of times.  We appreciated Jane walking the hearse further past Tesco Express in the rain, so Mum’s customers and colleagues could greet her coffin, calmly ignoring the impatient cars beeping behind her.  I also appreciated how they calmly dealt with the delayed payment from HSBC due to a clerical error on the bank’s part.  Thank-you to them both for their caring and sympathic approach.

  • 5 Nigel Hayton 13th Dec 2022

    Excellent service did my mother proud
