I cannot fault Stephen P Gay; from start to finish they have guided us through what has been a confusing and stressful time. They gave mum dignity and respect throughout. A special mention to Nathalie and David who we dealt with personally and were with us every step of the way. 

Benjamin Trumper 15th Nov 2024

Professional, thoughtful and efficient. Thank you.

Helena Shaw 10th Nov 2024
