We couldn’t fault the service from Sam Small at Thornalley Dersingham. From the get go Sam inspired confidence at a very difficult time for the family. And the execution of the whole funeral experience was faultless and beautiful. Our sincere thanks…

We chose Thornalley in Dersingham to look after my mum. From the first meeting with Sam, we knew we were in kind caring hands. Sam treated us with respect and sensitivity at an emotional time. We found the driver and pallbearers professional and respectful too. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

  • 5 Barbara Ralphs 17th Sep 2024

    We could not have been more pleased or impressed with Thornalleys and the way you dealt with us. Stuart and Pete were gentle and kind when they came to collect Dad and then Nicky and Sam were the perfect blend of efficiency, calmness and kindness throughout both the planning of the funeral and the day itself. Dad looked so lovely in the Chapel of Rest. Sam had done  a great job and you all patiently dealt with every small detail we requested from you in preparation for our 2 services. We were very impressed with the design team too. Our orders of service were wonderful. On the funeral day, Sam and Stuart took care of everything so efficiently and  their cheerful, calm presence was just what we needed. Sam, you are incredible. Just so good at your job and just what people need at a very difficult time. We would not hesitate to give Thornalleys the highest recommendation. . 

  • 5 Alex Coombs 6th Sep 2024

    Right from the start they were thoughtful and helpful with all the arrangements and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff we came into contact with were very pleasant and caring. Any questions, however small, were answered promptly. Although it is a sad time they made you feel at ease with their kind and efficient manner.
    We can’t thank them enough.

    The service given by Thornalley was in every respect excellent: from the first contact they were highly professional, very supportive, and discrete.

  • 5 Carol Turner 31st Jul 2024

    Outstanding professional supportive service, made a very difficult and emotional situation more bearable. They supported us to make the right decisions for us and we never felt rushed. Sam explained every step and checked in with us, to ensure we were emotionally ok and everything was in place to give my Dad the best funeral possible. 

  • 5 Darren Gomersall 30th Jul 2024

    From start to finish on this sad journey our family cannot recommend Thorn alley funeral services enough. From the very beginning Sam was so kind and understood all of our wishes. At such a sad time we felt he was there for us and kept in touch with us to make sure every thing was fine. On the day of our Dads funeral Dean officiated everything and made sure we were all comfortable with what was going to happen. They guided us through the whole process with care and dignity. Thankyou to Thorn alley for helping us through this sad day.

    Everything was handled very well from start to finish couldn’t have gone better
