We were drawn to Carlyon from their excellent webpage. We felt it was far more personal and welcoming than the larger corporate companies and not living in the area was something we were looking for. On making contact with Andrea we immediately felt valued and welcomed. She was compassionate but not over the top and her interaction with us felt totally genuine. Nothing was too much trouble, suggestions were put forward to us to think about, things we hadn't maybe thought about, never pushy or as though we were taking up too much of Andrea's time. Contact with Andrea was always answered promptly whatever the time of day. The funeral went perfectly, every little detail was covered we didn't have to worry about anything. Andrea and her team were absolute professionals in everything they did, it was as though we'd known Andrea for years almost like a family friend. David and the rest of the team on the day were friendly and professional also. Having not had to arrange a funeral before the daunting prospect was made so effortless by Andrea, she took the lead, listening to what we wanted offering advice and letting us decide. We would 100% recommended Carlyon Undertakers to anyone who finds themselves in need of someone to carryout their funeral for their nearest and dearest.

Andrea carried out dad’s funeral with such care, going above and beyond expectations. Thank you so much.

Andrea was excellent in every way she was very professional yet made a rather sombre occasion much easier for us to cope with.

    Hello Martin & Nicki,
    wow thank you so much for taking the time to write such an in-depth, wonderful review. I am so pleased you chose ourselves to care for Betty and to guide and support yourselves. I am thrilled you are so happy with the service we provided. It was an absolute pleasure to work with yourselves, we made a great team. Like I said in the card, next time you are in Cornwall, get in touch, it would be lovely to see you both again and I'm certain Dave would love to continue he talk on bikes with Martin haha!
    Kindest regards

    Andrea of Carlyon Funeral Directors
    Was extremely efficient & caring in taking care of our Mother's funeral arrangements.
    Using top class transport.
    Nothing seemed to be to much trouble, and the momentous that she gave to Sheila's Grandchildren was very thoughtful indeed.
    We would recommend her services without hesitation!

    Andrea Myhill replied
    Thank you David & family for your lovely review. We take pride in giving outstanding service to our families and we are so pleased you are happy with the service we provided. It was a privilege to be chosen to support yourselves through a very difficult time. Thank you for entrusting us to care for Mum.
    Kindest regards

    We couldn't have found anyone to do all the arrangements more compassionately for us, also very reasonably priced.
    Every little detail was perfect at such a sad time.

    Andrea Myhill replied
    Thank you Paul for your wonderful review. It was a privilege to support you and your family through a very difficult time. Thank you for entrusting us to care for Elizabeth. We are so pleased you are happy with the service we provided.
