There aren't enough stars in the rating system to recommend this family business more highly. The amazing personal care delivered by Nicky and Sam is unrivalled in any company I have ever dealt with. In such a sad occasion, which is always their business, they made my family feel totally at ease and gave us gracious and dignified treatment on the whole journey. Amazing!!🙏

    Every Funeral is personal, unique and special and every family wants to do their best to honour their loved one in the most befitting way.
    From my initial contact with Nicky in the Dersingham office I felt very much listened to and supported.
    Both her and Sam did everything they could, in the most helpful, caring and professional manner, to make my Mother’s funeral a loving and memorable occasion.
    I will always remember their kindness.
