We cannot thank Andrew Thornalley and his team at Thornalley Funeral Services enough for the care, compassion, and dignity they showed while helping us say goodbye to our dad yesterday.
Losing him has been incredibly difficult, but from the very first conversation, the team treated him—and us—with such respect and kindness. They took the time to really understand who he was as a person, not just the arrangements that needed to be made, and that meant so much to our family.
Nothing was ever too much trouble. Every detail was handled with care, and their calm, reassuring approach helped guide us through one of the hardest times of our lives. They made a process that felt overwhelming much more manageable.
The service itself was beautiful and truly reflected our dad’s life. It felt personal, meaningful, and exactly what he would have deserved. So many people commented on how thoughtfully everything had been put together. Enormous thanks to Celebrant Helen Drake for her wonderful service.
We will always be grateful for the support, compassion, and professionalism shown to our family and for the dignity given to our dad. We would wholeheartedly recommend Thornalley Funeral Services to anyone needing genuine care and support at such a difficult time.

My family are not local to Norfolk and at the time of dad’s passing had no idea who we would use. Thornalley and the team were amazing. We were really looked after by the team and updated regularly on requirements . Robert and Stuart were supportive on the day and we are thankful for everything they did for our family.
Many thanks -

From the very first time Andrew and his team, took my husband into their care until our final good-byes, they made a very difficult time into an easier process.
I couldn't fault their care, professionalism and absolute sincere compassion from the office staff to the management.
Any worries or requests were promptly answered including a viewing with so much sincerity that I knew, my husband was being expertly cared for.
Even after the funeral, a message was sent if Andrew and his team, could help any further with anything.
I know I made the right choice with Thornally. -
5 Daniel Rowe 21st Mar 2026
Andrew and his team are amazing. Without their compassion, support and advice, I simply don’t know what I would have done when I had to deal with a friend’s funeral.
Having never dealt with this before they guided me through and advised me, every step of the way and carried out every request they were given, I will be forever grateful to what they done for my friend.
If you’re reading this, in any doubt whether to use Thornally, do not doubt any more. You will not regret trusting them.
Thank you again to Andrew and your team. -
5 Taryn Peart 21st Mar 2026

Turning what could have been a very difficult day into a day of beauty, class and pride. With an ability to provide the personal touch that we all want for your loved one.
We simply couldn’t have asked for more! -
