Thank you so much to everyone involve with the funeral of my husband Stephen Lynch. Julia at Parkwood was wonderful helping us with everything & putting us in touch with Kathryn who done the service. The ladies at Rainham who looked after me when i went to see him. John who was brilliant with our grandchildren who walked with him, & the lovely gentleman who were at the service. Totally Perfect from start to finish.
