everything was done in a hugely professional manner. The entire team were sympathetic and understanding and went through the process with quiet care. The actual funeral went extremely smoothly with a huge input from the celebrant. I cannot thank everyone enough for their kindness ,they were wonderful and I thank them and recommend them highly. e

I cannot speak highly enough of Littleproud & Son and their care, attention to detail, professionalism and true, heartfelt sympathy they showed me and my family. Paul and his staff were brilliant throughout my contact with them. From registering my husband’s death, arranging his funeral, the service itself and finally interring his ashes, they were absolutely perfect. Nothing was too much trouble and every contact I had with them was a positive experience. Our family has used their services for many years now and will continue to do so as their professional yet very personal touch is exactly what you need at a difficult time. Thank you to Paul Littleproud and all his staff.
