This was the first time I’d had to organise a funeral so didn’t know what I was doing or what to expect, but Warren at Parkinson’s took all the stress away. Even on the day when there was a traffic hiccup, he dealt with it calmly and we managed to give Mum a lovely funeral. Thank you. 

Wendy Commons 26th Mar 2023

We didn’t know where to start planning the funeral when we lost dad. Thank goodness we chose Parkinsons. Warren was lovely and reassuring, gave us invaluable advice and made sure everything went perfectly on the day. This company shows outstanding professionalism at the time when you need it most.

    Warren and the team at Parkinsons were phenomenal at every turn. From my first phone call to their offices, to collecting my dad's ashes, our family were treated with respect and good humour throughout our most difficult time. The celebrant arranged by Parkinsons was fabulous and we couldn't have asked for a smoother, more beautiful service. I cannot fully express the level of gratitude our family feel towards the entire team at Parkinsons and we will never forget the kindness we were afforded by them.
