Fiona Hall, at the Spondon office, who organised my dad’s funeral, is quite brilliant. She struck the right note with us from the moment we arrived, therefore making a traumatic and difficult process straightforward.
On the day itself, the drivers were superb: friendly, precise with their timing.

Fiona especially, was so warm and friendly. Everything, right down to the last detail was handled with care and dignity at our fragile time. All of our family would like to say how kind, thoughtful and professional you all were.
At such a sad and difficult time you all...(especially Fiona) made it all fall into place and run smoothly for us and you took a lot of the
pain away and guided us through not just a funeral but a life celebration of our mother who went away with dignity and love.
Thank you so much.
Regards to all,
