    They made our hardest day, a lot easier. Thank you.

  • 5 Valerie Pressley 22nd Mar 2025

    Excellent service throughout. Everything was carried out with empathy and care and I was made to feel at ease.

  • 5 Joanne Dixon 16th Mar 2025

    Thank you all for your wonderful service and support. Very efficient and friendly staff guiding us through a delicate time. The day went smoothly and we felt cared for and confident with everything.

  • 5 Julie McGregor 14th Mar 2025

    Honestly, great from start to finish

  • 4 Denise Lee 4th Mar 2025

    Natalie in the office was so kind and caring and extremely professional. She listed to what we wanted with patience and care. I also spoke to Pauline and Annie who equally were lovely. They kindly organised everything we wanted for Dad and with great compassion. The Cars we had on the day were really nice as were the drivers. The only matter that we found disappointing was that we had particularly requested and agreed a format for the service, which was important to us as a family and for what our dad wanted, yet on the day we were asked to change it, for no real justified reason. We did stand our ground and the service went ahead as planned, but it was a lack of empathy at a very sensitive time and very unnecessary also. However Dad had a lovely send off which is what was important.

  • 5 Stephen Blackhurst 19th Feb 2025

    I found this company to carry out the whole process sensitively from start to finish.
    Their pricing was open and I was at no point pressured into spending more.
    I was kept informed of any issues leading up to the day and the Funeral itself was conducted with the utmost respect.
    Would recommend most strongly
