The whole process from start to finish was managed extremely professionally by all members of the team at Farriers. Julie was so patient and understanding from the outset and on the day of my dads funeral Lys was amazing; her professionalism and ability to support our family with so much care and compassion was very much appreciated - she truly is a credit to Farriers and an excellent representative of the business. Thank you to everyone at the Farriers team for making a very sad and difficult process that much easier for us.
