  • 5 Vera Holmes 22nd Mar 2022

    All the staff were all very helpful, respectful  and professional.  They took so much worry and stress  off my shoulders in arranging my husbands funeral, and gave me excellent advise in all the details concerning a death.  The funeral was exactly as I wanted it to be and went without a hitch.  I can’t praise this company enough, I don’t know how I would of coped without them at such a distressing time.

  • 5 Philip Boardman 21st Mar 2022

    Nothing can prepare you for the loss of a loved one and the pain and emotions but Thornalleys certainly know how to handle matters with a very professional level of service and aftercare. 
    Thankyou

  • 5 Gemma Holland 15th Mar 2022

    I can not thank the team at Thornally Funeral services enough. They were amazingly supportive and compassionate through this difficult time. They enabled us to give my father the final farewell he deserved. Their service was outstanding.

  • 5 Josephine Mertens 14th Mar 2022

    My family and I would like to pass on our sincere thanks to the way that the whole of the funeral was conducted. We could not have asked for any better service than the one you gave for my Husband John. Thank you so much.

  • 5 Rosemary Caink 14th Mar 2022

    Thank you so much for all your help and care and attention to detail. It was all a fitting send off for David I feel and he would have been quite embarrassed at the number present I am sure. Our only disappointment was with the recording as the sound is poor and distorted in parts. 

  • 5 Lorna Cutche 13th Mar 2022

    The staff are very friendly and accommodating, Everything was done in a timely manner and prepared to go that extra mile. Looking after our love ones is exactly what they do. Very professional.

  • 5 Kathleen Lambert 11th Mar 2022

    The service at Thornalley's is second to none, very caring, lovely people who take the worry out of arranging a funeral. Would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Brian Matthews 10th Mar 2022

    As we had wanted and conducted very professionally

  • 5 Iain Hobbs 8th Mar 2022

    Four years ago, my Sister passed away, due to Cancer. Two years ago, my Father passed away due to a heart attack. Now, my Mother has passed away, due to Cancer as well. I am the only remaining member for our immediate family.

    I suffer from several Mental Health Issues and was very scared about coping with organising my Mothers funeral on my own.

    The Lady who I meet with couldn't have been more understanding. We talked about my Mothers wishes for her funeral, who wanted a minimal funeral. At no point was I pressured into taking more expensive options, the Lady respected the wishes of my Mother and was also very accommodating to my Mental Health needs.

    From the first meeting, I had several correspondents with the funeral home and they were always prompt and accommodating with their responses.

    Everyone who attended my Mothers funeral said it was exactly as she would have wanted it.

    I would like to thank you to every at TFS for making the day as perfect as it could have been.

    The staff here are genuinely kind and I believe whatever you are going through, you couldn't be in better hands.

  • 5 Kathryn Berridge 8th Mar 2022

    After the shock and distress of losing my husband suddenly, I found myself with the unwanted and unexpected task of having to arrange his funeral. Several friends recommended Thornally Funeral Services for their genuine care and attention to detail. This is exactly the service I received from Ray Thornally and his team. Ray ensured my initial visit was as straightforward as these things possibly can be. Follow up communication was sensitive and considerate, sometimes just to check I was ok. The funeral itself was a very fitting tribute to my husband and TFS played no small part in making this possible. Their professionalism and calm organisation of the day didn’t go unnoticed by myself, my family and those attending. Several people commented on this. I would like to thank them for making a potentially difficult day more bearable. 

  • 5 Jonathan Rose 7th Mar 2022

    Excellent cannot be faulted 

  • 5 Dr Stewart Piper 5th Mar 2022

  • 5 Ann Baker 3rd Mar 2022

    We are extremely satisfied with the excellent service we received from Ray Thornalley and his team. They all made what was a very difficult time for us. (Loosing our lovely dad.) as smooth as possible and we can't thank them enough.

  • 5 Susan Hallwood 28th Feb 2022

    I chose Thornalley Funeral Service, knowing that I would receive a first class personal service, I have used them in the past and they are a really friendly sincere family run business. Would not hesitate to recommend.
