  • 5 Ms C Johnson 9th Jun 2020

    In such a sad time, can only say this company have been amazing and made it all very easy and felt, with empathy.

  • 5 Mr M Verner-Webb 8th Jun 2020

    Excellent service from Susan and her team, particularly during this difficult  period of Covid-19. Professional and sensitive at all times. Thank you for everything. 

  • 5 S Hyde 1st Jun 2020

    The service we received was professional and efficient, but more importantly it was caring, compassionate, understanding and personal and we felt as if we were the only family that Susan and her staff were looking after and they have continued to support us afterwards as well which is very comforting. Nothing was too much trouble, we were kept informed of our options at every step and these were very different from normal when arranging a funeral during Covid restrictions. During a very strange time and a very emotional time, Susan enabled us to fulfil our dads wishes for his final goodbye. Susan made it very special for us and my dad would have been proud. Susan arranged our Mums funeral some years ago and my dad was very clear that he would have no-one else looking after him on his final journey. Susan and her team are very special people who work hard to make such difficult and emotional times for people bearable and because they are not tied to a big corporate company they are able to provide a very personal service

  • 5 Mr I Buckland 1st Jun 2020

    Professional Service, Carried Out All Wishes, Excellent Customer Liaison

  • 5 Mrs C Denny 21st Apr 2020

    From first phonecall to the actual funeral they were friendly, comforting and helpful, doing all they could to fulfil our preferences. Added to that they were unhurried and made us feel relaxed and cared for. I would highly recommend them.

    Excellent service and caring staff and always professional during this hard hard time 

  • 5 Miss H Jones 15th Apr 2020

    Susan Whymark was incredible.  Actually she wasn't my first choice.  The first funeral home I spoke to was Rosedale's but It soon became apparent that they were going to make a very unpleasant chore, unbearable.  So I turned to Susan in desperation.  And I'm so glad I did.  She was kind, considerate and incredibly helpful.  The funeral I planned with Susan didn't take place as we'd hoped because of covid-19 but still it was the best it could be in the circumstances.  I would wholeheartedly recommend Susan Whymark.  I had no idea what was involved in arranging a funeral and I'm just so grateful I had Susan in my corner to help me through the process.  

  • 5 Mr M Hammond 6th Apr 2020

    This was the second time I have used Susan for family funeral arrangements, I can only say that the service provided by Susan and her team was exemplary, attention to detail, communications and arrangements with the various official parties were all taken care of taking much of the stress and strain of my shoulders. I highly recommend Susan and her team, it is unfortunate that in the future I know I will be talking to her again.  

  • 5 Ms M Sturgeon 6th Apr 2020
