Mr Thornalley could not have been more helpful and sympathetic, took all the worry and arrangements off my hands, designed a lovely picture on the front of the service sheet. He was just like talking to a family member. Wonderful service. All he staff were wonderfully helpful to.

  • 5 Valerie Green 27th Jul 2021

    Expert, professional advise, treated with dignity, the moment we walked through the door for our appointment to discuss funeral arrangements for our lived one.
    Visits to the Chapel of rest were easily organised for as many times required by the family.
    Follow up phone calls and the ability to pop in to discuss any question or request we may have forgotten was easy and welcome.
    Travelling to the crematorium was respectful.
    A friendly approachable company.

  • 5 Desmond Woodcock 22nd Jul 2021

    We received excellent service from the start. Mum was collected very swiftly and we were kept updated.
    Ray took us through the whole journey and took his time with us. Nothing was rushed and nothing was too much. Ray was in contact a few days before and on the day ensuring we were OK and understood everything. At the funeral Ray was with us all the way through and we were not rushed.
    Behind Ray the girls on the phone, in reception were understanding and very helpful. Even the designer for the order of service was caring and understanding.
    We as a family cannot thank Ray and his team enough.

  • 5 Margaret Cousins 22nd Jul 2021

    A very professional and kind service throughout. Very accommodating and always kept me informed. Willing to help at any stage. Adapted very well to the stricter circumstances, providing online live streaming of the funeral service for those that could not attend. A wonderful family-run business.
