We all know that a funeral can be a big expense, but you only get one chance to say goodbye, and the care and compassion they showed to both the living and the dead was priceless. Gary, Santanna and the whole team made a very traumatic time almost bearable, and nothing was to much trouble for them. They are a credit to their profession and a credit to the company. The fine send off that my darling wife so richly deserved. I can not thank you enough.

5Christopher McCullough27th Jun 2024
Theresa was lovely to work with at such a difficult time. We had a committal at Wilford Crematorium and then a separate Service of Thanksgiving and refreshments afterwards. She was very knowledgeable about options for services, facilities and timing and this advice was very helpful. She was also very proactive in making sure we got dates and times which we required. She was always available for a call and communicated important info to us as we got everything arranged. Thank you!
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
It was such a honour to be involved in Lorna’s funeral, she was a big part of Ruddington Community, I remember she was involved with the Rudd magazine. She is now at rest with her beloved husband Ivan who I also knew as he was one of the organist at Wilford Hill Crematorium. They will both be missed very much. I’m very please every thing went well on the day. Teresa.
