Robert Izzard 23rd Apr 2018

The funeral was exactly how our Mother would have wanted it. The Funeral Director, the drivers and pall bearers did a fantastic job which was very helpful given the stressful occasion. In any other circumstances it would be judged as a resounding success for organisation, the helpfulness of the staff coupled with their professionalism. Thank you to you all. Bob Izzard & Pauline Ward [nee Izzard] and family.
