Bernard and Dianne could not have done any more at such a difficult time. Their personal touches, support and advice on all matters was invaluable to myself and the whole family. They were kind, compassionate, yet professional and dealt with all the funeral arrangements with ultimate professionalism. I don’t know what I would have done without their help in organising everything and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you.
