5Louise Ulyett19th Nov 2023
Mark from Carlton Branch was fantastic, mark had been to see my husband at home as he was terminally poorly, Mark is one of the nicest people you can meet and all of my husbands wishes for his funeral we’re completed.
Mark kept me up to date throughout from the final plans to the day of the service and after .
Most of my family have known Mark from the many funerals they have been to , and everyone says the same he’s such a lovely guy .
My husband was keen to have Mark over see his funeral which was fantastic as Mark did Just that and more he made it feel more personal and he shows a real care for the deceased.
Emma was also amazing if I couldn’t speak to Mark she kept me up dated.
Well done Carlton Branch ❤️
Once again Mark was amazing , my husband was only 42 but the care and compassion showed to us at an awful time was made a little easier by Mark , it was a big funeral with lots of little extra bits that my husband requested but nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you again Mrs U x
