    We used Thornalley funeral directors for my father’s funeral and recently my mother’s funeral and I cannot praise them enough. 
    They were thoughtful and caring from the start of the process through to the end and were very professional.

    We couldn't have asked for a better team to support the family with our Dads final memories. Down to the smallest gestures and details Dean and the rest of the Thornalley team were one step ahead of us to make everything as nice as possible.
    Thank you to all x

  • 5 Keryn Middleton 3rd Jun 2024

    A totally professional Company from start to finish, regardless of staff hierarchy. Empathetic staff without being patronising, kept us informed at all times and even when we turned up without appt managed to accommodate our needs. Dean called on the morning of the funeral to make sure we were all ok and if we still had any questions - 8.30am!
    They did a 'drive past' outside the care home where mum last lived so that the residents could pay their respects. We expected a drive around the horseshoe shaped road and for the family cars to join the procession behind the hearse but instead Dean (funeral director) exited the hearse, walked in front of it past the residents and bowed to them and the coffin then escorted the hearse past the family members waiting to join the cortege.
    At the crematorium, everything was explained to the family members that were going to carry the coffin and the whole programme ran smoothly and without incident. Hopefully they will stay as an independent Company and continue to give this first rate service.

  • 5 Dawn Seeley 28th May 2024

    I am more than pleased with the excellent Funeral Service, the staff are very helpful and Ray was more than happy to help in anyway, highly recommend this Company. Believe me you could not wish for a better friendly service than Thornalley Funeral Services. Thank you so much.

  • 5 Monika Shove 27th May 2024

    We were met with genuine compassion and dignity from the first meeting right up to the day of the funeral.
    I felt 'looked after' and it helped enormously. 
    All our wishes were taken into consideration and it helped make the final 'good bye' a serene but also joyful event. 
    Thank you to all of you.
