The entire process of arranging and the manner in which it was conducted was excellent. The staff were sympathetic with out being over the top. On the day every thing that was promised was delivered with dignity, and efficient courtesy. This made a difficult situation that much easier to bear and for which the family were very grateful.

Mark Wheat 2nd Jan 2023

Every single detail was taken care of by all of the staff, who had exactly the right approach and demeanor considering the circumstances. Could not have been happier with the way Nicky at the Dersingham office took us through what needed to happen, scheduling the service as quickly as possible, the day after our Dad’s passing and laying out all that would need to happen in that two week period. At their chapel Sam took care of preparing Dad beautifully and Janet, the celebrant made the service very special indeed. Cannot thank you enough!

  • 5 Trevor Hughes 27th Nov 2022

    Thornalley's Dersingham office could not have provided a more professional, sympathetic, thorough and quietly efficient service if they had tried!! From the first contact right up to the day, they were the epitome of clarity, efficiency, and sensitive professionalism. Warmest thanks to everyone, particularly Nicky in the office, Sam, the director, and his team on the day. I cannot recommend Thornalley's highly enough!

  • 5 Teresa Cooper 26th Nov 2022

    The staff were efficient, compassionate, nothing too much trouble, even phoning me enquiring as to how I was coping, 
    At this time when myself and family are grieving it was such a relief to have them take care of everything, I would also commend the service of the Celebrant.

  • 5 Dawn Tumbridge 10th Nov 2022

    Charming, helpful, caring, patient and all with excellent follow up.  Can’t recommend them highly enough.  Wish they were in Oxfordshire.  They far exceeded my expectation having dealt with others in the past. 
    Nothing was too much trouble for Sam and Nicky and they even found a place for a wake.
    Exceptional customer service. Thank you both

  • 5 Jan Crawley 16th Oct 2022

    Thornalley Funeral Services were great with our aunt's funeral 2 years ago when her deaf and blind husband was left on his own. They have also been brilliant with our uncle's funeral who sadly died recently two years later. We live over 7 hours drive away so it was great to know that someone we could trust was in charge of the arrangements. They checked in with us every day leading up to the funeral and were very kind and considerate to us all. the funeral went very smoothly thanks to Thornalley. We are all very grateful

  • 5 Lesley Watson 10th Oct 2022

    At a very emotional time we were shown kindness and consideration.

  • 5 Angela Mitchell 29th Sep 2022

    I can't recommend them highly enough.

    Having a funeral directors in the located in the village meant I didn't have to think about travelling into Lynn and made it much easier to deal with things. When there is so much to do and you are numb even that helps. Nikki and Sam at Dersingham couldn't have been more helpful. They even called to just check I was okay leading up to the funeral, that made all the difference that day. First class service. Thank you so much.

  • 5 Joy Page 22nd Aug 2022

    Nicki and Sam were both extremely helpful throughout the whole process.
    We first met with Nicki and she was extremely understanding during the meeting, we felt relaxed and confident that we could take our time answering the questions and that we did not need to rush the process. 
    Both Nicki and Sam made us feel confident that we could phone at any time with any questions we had. They were very patient and knowledgeable when I rang with questions. 
    Sam made sure everything ran smoothly on the day.
    We are very grateful to Thornalleys and all the staff that we were able to give Peter a very good send off, so thank you Sam, Nicki and the whole Thornalley team from the family of Peter Page.
