Jane Kerry 12th Jan 2021

Compassionate and caring at a traumatic time in my life. Helped me arrange a beautiful funeral for my fiancé; his family, friends and myself were comforted by the lovely send off they helped me give him. I am very grateful to Thornalley funeral services for their care and professionalism, especially given the COVID restrictions and the limits this put on the funeral attendance and service. 

Brenda Le'Cand-Harwood 11th Jan 2021

From day one the kindness and efficiency shown was without doubt excellent. The funeral was impeccable.

Sarah Jarvis 10th Jan 2021

They dealt with everything in such a sincere and caring way, they went above and beyond and we couldn’t have asked for more. Would recommend to anyone.

  • 5 Donna Joyce 28th Dec 2020

    My father worked alongside Thornalleys for many years and appreciated their kindness' sense of humour. and the respect they showed for the deceased and their families. That is one of the main reasons he chose Thornalleys to care for him once he had gone (and the fact the hearse bore his initials!).
    His trust in them is well deserved. Andrew and his staff proved to be most courteous, caring, highly organised, efficient and discreet.
    I would recommend in a heartbeat that you choose Thornalleys to support you through this most difficult time.

    Kind, compassionate and professional.

  • 5 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 Jane Adams 13th Dec 2020

  • 5 Daphne Self 12th Dec 2020

  • 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.
