Can't thank them enough, they are helpful, kind and organised, lovly people.

Penny Askin 2nd Sep 2022

Living in Australia and having to organise a funeral in the UK for my Father, not having had any previous experience of such things was very daunting, I honestly did not know where to begin. At Sherburn in Elmet they were extremely professional, incredibly understanding, tremendously helpful and above all they were kind. They guided me through the process step by step and were delightful to work with from the very start through to the end at such a traumatic time. I would not hesitate to recommend their services, they were amazing. Thank you once again. P. Askin, Perth WA.

    Thank you.

  • 5 Helen Keedy 31st Jan 2022

    From start to finish Jane and her colleagues provided an excellent service. Jane informed and involved me every step of the way making a very difficult and emotional situation easier to deal with. I was particularly touched by how Jane asked the family to tell her about our loved one so that when they looked after him during the time before the funeral, they could chat to him. That was very comforting. Thankyou to all the staff at 'Thornton's' your professionalism and sensitivity at what are very difficult circumstances was of an exceptionally high standard.
