Thornalley Funeral Services go above and beyond in their care,support and compassion. Their attention to all the details that matter so much at the time of death are a huge comfort. From beginning to end, their support for myself and our families was superb and I could rest assured that all was well. Andrew was unfailing in his understanding of the emotional turmoil that I was feeling and dealt with everything so calmly and professionally. He has a real gift and calling for this service along with his father, Ray and their team. The funeral attended by 150 people at King's Lynn Minster was carried out perfectly. I highly recommend Thornalleys Funeral Services for a perfect funeral and all accompanying services.

  • 5 Lance Wardill 4th Sep 2023

    I would like to thank Mr Thornalley and his team for making an extremely difficult and emotional process, so much more bearable than it felt at first. Everything was dealt with in a calm, professional and attentive manner, leaving me and my family the time and space to grieve, rather than getting tied up in admin and procedure.

    Once again, thanks for guiding us through this.

    Dad had known Ray for years and it was comforting to know Ray was doing his funeral. Nothing is ever too much trouble and everyone is so lovely. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to take care of the most important person to me on his final journey.
