    Outstanding service. Nothing was too much and they really looked after every detail in such an effortless way that I felt I had very little to do, which at such an awful and distressing time was Just wonderful. It was the hardest day of mine and our close family’s life; saying goodbye to my mum, however Dan and the staff at Viners made it the very best day for her, and for us; that it could be. Thank you.

  • 5 Mrs Susan Smith 19th Jul 2020

    From the first moment that we met Chris Sargeant at Viner & Sons Ltd for our appointment nothing was too much trouble. Although my father had pre arranged his funeral, because of the current climate everything was explained to us including the changes that would have to be made. The music which we chose was no problem and the choral hymns were arranged with our circumstances taken into consideration.

    The funeral went very smoothly and the service provided by Chris and his colleagues helped the family at a very difficult and sad time.

  • 5 Graham Wootton 18th Jul 2020

    The family were most grateful for the attention which Viners gave us both beforehand and on the day. Many folk not able to attend who joined on-line have commented how well the service was conducted.
