    This is an exceptional family-run and owned business, with a long history of service to the local community.  Every aspect of their care, every communication is handled with quiet professionalism and respect.  The attention to detail is remarkable and consistent throughout, with understanding and support at every stage of a difficult and sad time.  We would like to especially thank Ray and Andrew, Traci and Chris, and our Celebrant Helen for all their kindness. 

    Thornalley's have a well-deserved reputation for excellence over four decades, and we have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending them.
