John and team were wonderful at a time when we needed most support. John was empathetic, compassionate and never rushed us at any stage. He went the extra mile to help us with everything. He maintained contact throughout this very sad experience and dealt with everything for us. Everyone at the funeral said what a lovely service it was. Many thanks to John and team.

Chris and his family were amazing from start to finish. Always there to answer any questions. They were never pushy. Going with a family run company was nice as you had quality care. Thank you for all you did.

John, Chris and Louise were absolutely wonderful at a time when we needed the most support. They took all the weight off the family and were wonderfully empathetic throughout the whole time we spent with them. I never felt rushed into making any decisions even though we were tight on time to make our chosen date. They went above and beyond at every stage. Most people who attended commented that it was ‘the loveliest funeral’ that they had been to. Thank you so much John and the team.
