    They could not have been more kind, considering the circumstances and helpful at all times. Sam was able to give advice when needed . I don't know how myself and 3 daughters would have copied without him. A very big thank you to him. Would recommend to anybody.

  • 5 Steven Hannant 11th Aug 2023

    Good service

  • 5 Rod Willett 5th Aug 2023

    It takes a certain type of person to offer the support so appreciated at such a difficult and emotionally challenging time. In Sam we found such a person and his empathetic approach was very much appreciated by our family.

  • 5 Marian Fitt 30th Jul 2023

    We want to thank Sam and Nicky and the rest of the team involved in making our son Jamie's final good bye so special. Also thank you to Janet who was so thoughtful and caring during and after the service. Every step of the way was handled with such care and professionalism. A very sad and difficult time was made into a beautiful and memorable day, thankyou.

  • 5 Debbie Smith 22nd Jul 2023

    The whole team at Thornalleys were so professional and courteous from the start. 
    Sam went absolutely above and beyond from the beginning with suggestions and arrangements for Mick’s funeral and generally making you feel very looked after.
     My daughter was going back to Australia just after her Dad’s funeral and he made sure she had some of his ashes in an urn and a scatter tube ready to take with her along with paperwork she might possibly need.
    I really cannot say enough but thank you  you for making something very difficult a whole lot easier. Mick’s funeral was just as it should have been and there wasn’t anything we would have changed.

    I have nothing but praise for Sam and his team at Thornally.

  • 5 Patricia Clegg 15th May 2023

    My words seem inadequate to write how kind, supportive & professional Sam & Nicky were dealing with my mothers funeral arrangements.
    No detail was overlooked & the advice given was heartfelt, whether in person, on the phone or by email. 
    On the day of the funeral the whole team were a credit to Thornalley’s & the Piper played amazingly. 
    We can never thank you enough for making the day the best send off for my mother, Bills wife & the grandchildren’s grandma.

    My father has told me to use Thornalley’s for his funeral, which I hope won’t be anytime soon !

  • 5 Andy Port 15th May 2023

    The team at Dersingham made a difficult time run really smoothly, with a very professional approach and words of compassion and advice throughout the process and as a family would couldn’t thank them more. 

  • 5 Jackie Rushbrooke 14th May 2023

    Words cannot express my gratitude and thanks to Sam and Nicky of Dersingham.
    They treated my late husband Reg with the love and care, as if he was a member of their own family.I knew Reg was in very good hands.
    The kindness and support that was given to me helped me through what was a very sad and difficult time.
    Special little touches on the day of Regs funeral, Sam phoning to see how I was and and all wearing blue ties, which was Regs favourite colour made it a special day. They go that extra mile to make sure everything is perfect.
    Sam and Nicky are so understanding and showed so much compassion. You are both truly amazing. Cannot thank you enough.
    With much love Jackie x
