Peter Allinson 14th Jun 2021
Helen was struck down with pancreatic cancer very suddenly and died after 4 weeks of suffering. She was very specific about her Cremation wanting a non religious, very private ceremony with her choice of music and the opportunity of relatives and special close friends to be able to say their tributes, and her close relatives to arrange and conduct the ceremony themselves. Lewis Soloman bent over backwards to help us achieve exactly what we wanted, allowed us to visit in the chapel of rest at anytime and gave advice, with lots of compassion, on how we could achieve what we wanted. The result was, according to those present, that the ceremony went off without a hitch and was amongst one of the best funerals they have ever been too. We owe so much thanks to the staff at Lewis Soloman's for making the most saddest day of our lives one of the best. Many many thanks. The Allinson family
