    Thornalleys service was second to none. The team were extremely helpful and accommodating and they are kind and compassionate. 

  • 5 Donna Doades 24th May 2021

    Not knowing anything about arranging a funeral, but Ray, soon made it very easy. Ray and the girls in the office were with me every step of the way. They were very supportive and approachable. Ray made me feel like I wasn’t on my own. Everything was professional and to perfection, from start to finish. I would highly recommend Thornalley. X

  • 5 Christine Mindham 24th May 2021

    I was very impressed at my experience with Thornalleys.At a very traumatic time they went above and beyond to help my family and myself get through this time.
    Everyone at Thornalleys treated me with compassion and I felt relief as they took the burden from my shoulders.

    Thornalley Funeral Services were the best we could have wished for. You managed everything with such care and love to us all, and so much dignity for my beloved Dad. We would never use anyone different for our future loved ones’ send off. Thank you so, so much. 

  • 5 Frank Berry 21st May 2021

    Excellent service at this difficult time.
    Everything went as planned 
    Thankyou

  • 5 Raymond Messam 20th May 2021

    The initial contact was so helpful and re-assuring, and in practice the funeral was conducted just as planned, with sensitivity and clear direction.  Despite the constrictions, everybody seemed to know what to do, so that there was a good gathering at the committal. I know Pat would have approved.
      Thank you for your care.
                                     Ray Messam.

  • 5 Miles Clery-Fox 16th May 2021

    When my mother died, Ray and his team provided the impeccable service for which they are rightly known. Every detail, from the initial pastoral contact to the faultless, dignified and respectful accompaniment of the coffin's path from their chapel to the church and crematorium, was executed with utmost care and military precision. When I think of my mother in the future, it will always be in tandem with the beautiful farewell that Thornalley Funeral Services made possible. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  • 5 Roland Bachkauskas 14th May 2021
