  • 4 Tina Rennie 24th Jan 2023

    Everything went very smoothly and the funeral home took care of the arrangements. Jade was kind and supportive when I needed it most.  It was a little slower getting information about other services such as a memorial and I was then directed to the crematorium to enquire myself. I was told the legal team would contact me to other guidance but I did not receive any contact. I got the impression they were busy. 
    The speaker, Jim, who took the service was great. He made it really easy and did such a good job. Laura,  who led the funeral was reassuring and supportive. I would highly recommend.
