  • 5 Philip Bell 6th Dec 2021

    Dan Mundy at Viner & Sons organised an absolutely perfect and tasteful funeral on Tuesday 18th May 2021 for my dear Mum - Janet Bell.

    From first meeting, Dan listened to all my requests and exceeded my expectations. At a very emotional time he carefully explained everything and suggest a perfect funeral that delivered everything my mum wanted. He was very understanding and sensitive and gave great advice. He designed an order of service that my mum would have loved and found all our music requests.

    On the actual day of the funeral, I was very nervous and emotional about having to read my personal eulogy for Mum, but Dan's words to me gave me the confidence to deliver it without tears!

    I'm sure my dear mum would have loved the service so thank you Viners & Sons and Dan once again.
