I would just like to say how wonderful both Sarah and Colin were during the funeral of my dad. It was most certainly the hardest thing I had to do but their professionalism and understanding made it a much easier process than expected. They were so kind and friendly and made sure that I was fully aware of everything that was going to happen and understood the entire process. A lovely team who genuinely showed empathy and support for me and ensured the process was smooth and we'll supported.

Ellie Bottomley 28th Oct 2017

Really professional and caring team, we are grateful for their help during the difficult time

Kelly Jones 14th Oct 2017
