Reliable and compassionate and offer a service that makes you feel like you are part of their family.  This is the 2nd time I have used their services, when my Dad passed away back in 2013 and more recently my Mum.  I cannot thank the whole team enough for making a very difficult time more bearable and for being understanding every step of the way!   Thank you Amy & family

    The staff is very polite and sensitive. Very respectful to our late dad and the reference of “dad” was very admirable! They don’t give false hope. They don’t commit either until they are sure! I liked how Hayley fought for us regarding dad’s infection battle! We really appreciate the time saved! Thank you.
