I can not write a review that will praise Simon , Robert , James and the rest of the team highly enough.
Given the time of the year we were faced with a few more obstacles and delays , but Simon was on the ball and took the pressure off the family.
Nothing was too much trouble and we were kept informed all along the way.
Our loved one was treated with dignity and respect and we felt very happy to intrust him into Simon and James care.
The chapel of rest is a very calming and well designed room. We were not rushed and felt very supported when we visited to say our last good bye’s. Our young autistic son aged 8 came with us , Simon made this a much less daunting experience with his advice and help.
Simon came to speak with us about the funeral arrangements on a bank holiday. He also made contact whilst he was on “ holiday” , a true caring gentleman who touched our hearts with his kindness.
Flowers , order of service , extra items and wood work for the coffin all done to an excellent standard. Put into reality what we had in our minds.
A lovely mix of traditional values with a modern day twist , is how I would sum up our experience.
If you want a positivity wonderful and amazingly kind , set of human beings looking after your loved one do not look no further. Professional, knowledgeable and simply the best company around.
Thank you for making a difficult time easier :-)

5 Mary Chuchley 18th Dec 2021
Simon, Robert, James and Bex to name a few have been fantastic. From making that first initial contact right up until now just after the funeral has taken place.
Simon has been an absolute lifeline for myself. Nothing was too small and he was in contact sometimes almost daily just to see I was OK and if there was anything he could do to help lift the burden I was carrying.
I have dealt previously with this wonderful team of people in the line of work I do, and knew instantaneously that I would not choose any other company to support my family at such a difficult time.
There are no words that I could write that would do for this wonderful team of truly fantastic individuals.
They have truly been a miraculous lifeline for me and my family and I thank them tremendously from the bottom if my heart ❤Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Mary, What can we say, other than thank you for taking the time to share these thoughts, we are truly humbled by your kind words and that you felt able to apraise the services you have received from us. We wish you and the fmaily many years of good and sustaining memories of Kim. -
