George and his family were amazing and gave my Mum the best service possible. Can’t thank him enough and would recommend to anyone.  Nothing was much trouble and helped me every step of the way as I’d never organised a funeral before. 

Amanda Cashmore 27th Jun 2024

George and all the family were incredibly supportive, caring, kind and compassionate every step of the way. George made sure we didn’t have to worry or think about anything, everything was taken care of seamlessly and gently. Dignified and respectful, but also with a lightness which lifted us all on the day. They are a joy to deal with and would thoroughly recommend.
