Great service
Deborah Stead7th Jan 2024
Mum was at the Arnold branch. Jessica was kind and patient with me in dealing with the planning of Mum's funeral.
There was no rush when we visited the chapel of rest towards the ... end of the day.
Colum, our celebrant was equally patient and caring and I highly recommend him.
Everything on the day ran smoothly. The staff were very respectful to Mum and us.
Highly recommend the company and the Arnold branch. more
