Proffesional, respectful, courteous, offered an exemplary service through an extremely difficult and sensitive time. Nothing was too much trouble.
Steve Cooper 29th Nov 2022
From start to finish Chris and his team walked me through this very sad occasion step by step with compassion, patience and honesty. Everything was explained and gone through in detail with no unwanted surprises. W J Farrier & Son Ltd also laid my uncle to rest three years ago so it was the natural choice. They even managed to find the celebrant that carried out my uncle's service although retired managed to persuade him to come out of retirement to carry out my aunts also. I cannot recommend them enough. Total professionalism and class. Thank you, Chris and your team. Steve Cooper
