    Keith's widow has been telling all her friends how well his funeral was arranged. There were no problems or unexpected difficulties and all the people involved were exceptional. Special thanks for taking the flowers back to her bungalow, that was very greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for making a sad occasion easy and straightforward.

    Having met firstly Peter and thereafter Heather we felt totally at easy. Heather arranged the service after carefully going through all details of the funeral arrangements. Even spent extra time rearranging the order of service without a word of complaint.

    The funeral cars arrived perfectly on time . Stuart and his team carried out their duties perfectly. All the family agreed that the whole funeral service went without a hitch.

    Happy to recommend this company without any hesitation.
