Dawn Mellon 22nd Jul 2021

The staff at Clarkes were friendly , compassionate and very helpful. They guided me through all the steps along the way and made a difficult process as easy and as stress free as possible. They enabled me to facilitate the funeral my father wanted and the room that the service was in was bright and spacious. The attendants guiding us on the day of the funeral   gently guided us family and attendees on the day. I would not hesitate to recommend Clarkes for anyone who needs the services of a funeral director.
