Thornalley were thoughtful and caring throughout. They arranged almost everything for us other than the flowers. Everyone commented on how well the service went and we were particularly pleased with the order of service. 

Victoria Rose 30th Jun 2024

The staff were very kind and had time for me, I felt they considered my feelings and did everything they could to help me through a very difficult time. I felt reassured and confident that my loved one was safe and respected while in their care. The funeral was just as we planned and on the day the staff were very respectful and considerate of my feelings.

I have now planned three funerals with Thornalleys. One at Kings Lynn and two with Dersingham. Their service is faultless and they make a difficult time, much easier. I sadly lost my husband last year and my Dad this year. Sam and Nicky at Dersingham are kindness itself and always greet you with a really nice smile and a warm welcome, whatever you’re popping in to do or ask.  Very professional but with a human side.  Thank you

    TFS have done it all before and take care of every little detail with sensitivity and dignity. Every "what about this and "what about that" you wake up worrying about has been taken care of and if not, they will sort it out!
    Their service could not have been better.

    Liam was  very understanding and considerate from our initial chat right through to the day of the funeral.  He is a fantastic member of the team.  
    On the day of our funeral the whole team was very discreet, respectful and professional. 
    We couldn’t be more happy with how we were dealt with, through such a difficult circumstance.

    Thoroughly professional service from the entire team. Eased the anxiety of arrangements, by providing a sense of a methodical, caring and subtle control of such a sensitive situation.

    Our sincere thanks go to Thornally Funeral Services.

    We couldn’t have asked for a more caring and empathetic service. They made everything as easy as it could be at a difficult time and I could not fault them. Everything was done as it should be, respectful, considerate and professional.

  • 5 Annette Croote 23rd Mar 2024

    A really loving, caring & thoughtful family business. They patiently talked me through every step of the process, making sure I understood what would be happening. They thoughtfully phoned several times to make sure I was okay & hadn't thought of anything to change or wasn't sure about. They also have a free follow-up Bereavement Counselling service if anyone feels they are struggling with grief. I cannot praise them enough & am stuck for words to express my thanks. Myself and my family certainly highly recommend them at a time of need. They are a lovely caring family firm.

  • 5 Jeremy Bowers 21st Mar 2024
