Rodney Murray 15th Sep 2020

I thought that the service from day one when we first met Nichola (when I first approached Chapman's) was thoughtful and considered throughout. She at all times showed professionalism certainly with deep regard for genuine sympathy showed to me and my son-in-law. The company's attention to detail was quiet outstanding both during in the negotiation and on the day of Sylvia's funeral. Peter, the funeral director and the ushers were both polite and sympathetic without too much regimentation. The funeral service was quiet acceptable which created the correct ambience and heartfelt feeling shown to those in mourning Sylvia's loss. Janet Qualters conducted the Celebration of Sylvia's Life with a quiet assuredness and created what I would call genuine a sort of 'calm'. I think all those attending would all agree with my sentiments. R W Murray

    Chapmans and Thornalley Services were proffessional, understanding and supportive at all times.
    I am grateful for everything that was done to make the funeral run as smoothly as possible, and to make a difficult time more bearable.
