  • 5 Christobelle Brock 25th May 2023

    Thornalleys have been a tremendous help during the worst time of my life so far.  Traci had numerous conversations with my husband while he planned his funeral.  The empathy and kindness shown to us by several members of the team after he passed away was very reassuring and greatly appreciated. On the day of his funeral I felt extremely well supported by Ray.  He made me feel that he was there just for me.  They worked so well with the Royal Marines Association to allow them to give him a dignified and well deserved send-off.

  • 5 David Barker 24th May 2023

    We have worked with TFS a number of times with family funeral arrangements over many years and can only praise them for the care, empathy and professionalism with which they make our send off to a loved one very special and memorable. Every member of staff plays their part perfectly.

  • 5 Doreen Brady 24th May 2023

    Can't praise the staff enough, they guided us though everything we needed to do and not one minute did we feel rushed. Even made phone calls to see how we were coping. Nothing seemed to much trouble for them. Would highly recommend and use again. Thornally, a very professional team and exceptional service.

    this year has been a tough start, loosing my father, uncle and brother. through out all this the staff at Thornalley have helped me every step of the way, taking the time to suggest ways of arranging ashes, photographs and helping to coach the words i wanted to be said at the funerals. I cannot thank all of them enough.

    We as a family will only use Thornalleys Funeral Services as they are extremely supportive, empathetic and professional , they go above and beyond to make sure that we were kept up to date with funeral proceedings and checking in to see how we all were . 
    Our dad always had the greatest respect for Ray and would have been so pleased when Ray led him into the crematorium, it was a very personal touch for us all. 
    We cannot thank you all enough for your attention to detail , your comfort to us all and professionalism every step of the way ,  during a very difficult time . 
    Kind regards
