We switched to Viners on recommendation having been badly let down by Michael Lawrence. Lisa at Viners  was fantastic from start to finish, she we very proactive and dealt with everything she possibly could to make our lives a little easier. On the day Nathen and his team carried on Lisa's great preparation to ensure my mums funeral went smoothly and respectfully.

Nathan and the team at Viners are superb. My Dad's funeral was just perfect in every way. Nothing was too much trouble, communication was second to none! What can only be describe as love and support shown to our family every step of the way was just incredible. I cannot thank them enough

Emma Marin 28th Nov 2021

Couldn’t have asked for a more personal service. Nothing was too much trouble and all the staff were so kind and sympathetic.

    Viners could not have done any more to make our mum's funeral a perfect celebration of her life. Nothing was too much trouble, they even took mum's flowers to our dad's grave in another cemetery. I cannot recommend them too highly.

    No words can say how wonderful Viner & Sons have been from the start of the arrangements for our dear John to the end. Clare and ALL the team have been so attentive and so supportive at such a sad time. We could not have hoped for a more beautiful funeral to say our goodbyes.
    Thank you to everyone.
