Carol Turner 27th May 2022

All of the staff without exception were compassionate and supportive throughout, from the first phone call after my husband passed, up to and beyond the funeral. The service itself was even better than I had hoped, and the celebrant was excellent. Absolutely faultless, I cannot thank you enough.
