John & his team are fantastic, they sorted everything out for the funeral, John was full of information & help, nothing was too much trouble. Very considerate to our feelings & extremely efficient. Christine’s funeral went so smoothly.

We had the most excellent service for our Nan’s funeral from John and his team, very helpful, professional and respectful. We have had 3 funerals in the last few years…all with John. Very highly recommended.

Wonderful service. A kind and friendly voice on the phone and relaxed emails walked me through the process. Respect was shown at all times from collecting my Aunty to arrival at the crematorium.I never felt rushed or under pressure Thankyou.
