    Cannot fault the service we received for my late Mum, she was treated with dignity and they were so kind, sympathetic and helpful from taking my Mum to the chapel of rest, through to organising the service and the actual day. Ww were. proud to give my Mum the best send off we could and it was made all the more easier having the comfort and support that Viner and Sons gave us. Thank you

    Given the difficult circumstances at present Nathan of Viners was kind and considerate throughout the procedure. Nothing was too much trouble for him and his team. He was able to engage a suitable and kindly celebrant Deborah who ensured that the small group of mourners were well looked after and safe.

    As always they were excellent. Especially as it was during the lockdown. Peter could not have had a better send off.
    Keith Viner sang an unaccompanied Hymn at the grave side and that was beautiful
