Susan Fraser 14th Dec 2020

It is difficult to fund the right words to describe the service which was provided by Thornally Funeral Services.  From the very first visit to their offices they were empathetic, kind and quietly professional.  I visited my husband, Michael, three times in the chapel of rest and never, for one moment, felt that I was being a nuisance.  On the day of the funeral every single detail had been thought of and it was perfect.  My husband was laid to rest in our local churchyard with dignity and respect.   My personal thanks to Ray Thornally who looked after and cared for me on the day. Thank you to everyone at Thornally Funeral Services for making such a sad occasion with gentleness and understanding.

  • 5 Samantha Barrett 12th Dec 2020

    I have never had to organise a funeral before, and this one was for my lovely Mum. The whole team were so kind and compassionate and actually make a very difficult time  much easier to handle.

    Ray instils a sense of calm and authority and I immediately knew that Mum was in good hands. From the lovely men who came to take Mum from the house to Traci who helped when I was worrying about photographs everyone is kind, welcoming and professional and just make things easier. 

    Mums service was beautiful and so well organised. I can’t speak highly enough of Thornalley Funeral Services.

    A very professional and caring family business. Andrew and his whole team make you feel at ease whilst you are dealing with a very sad time in your life.

  • 5 Carolyn Pearce 30th Nov 2020

    Led me through the process with dignity and professionalism at a difficult time. 

  • 5 Joan Carter 29th Nov 2020

    Exceptional is the first word that comes to mind when thinking back on how compassionate, caring and respectfully Andrew handled my father’s funeral.

    Unfortunately, the funeral was held during covid- 19 lockdown but Government procedures were adhered to whilst providing a professional respectful service. Thornalley Funeral Services also provided a live streaming of the funeral services at Mintlyn Crematorium, enabling family and friends to watch the service in the safety of their own homes.

    Andrew managed flawlessly to arrange every single wish, from music requested, to one of the best celebrants, the celebrant Verne handled the service as if she had known my Father, she was remarkable and a credit to her profession.

    Andrew was so empathetic to our thoughts and wishes and dealt with everything he could to help make this happen, from the first phone call his compassion and attention to our wishes was second to none!

    I would certainly recommend Thornalley Funeral services to my family and friends.
