From the very beginning of the process, Sherlock’s were both friendly and professional and took care of everything beautifully. The whole funeral was dealt with so easily and the s ... train was taken away from me, leaving me to organise the wake etc without having to worry about the funeral side of things.

    At a time when you need complete professionalism, compassion and support, Sherlocks delivered. From the initial phone call to the formal meeting to decide arrangements it was all done with utmost respect and patience. 
    A special mention to Clive who was the lead director on the day. He was always there but never in the way, just perfect and such a gentle man. He was wonderful. 

  • 5 Anne Porritt 29th Aug 2022

    We had two services, a private family cremation and a Church service of remembrance in the afternoon. Sherlocks organized everything perfectly for me, cars, hymn sheets, organist and it was a sad but happy day "enjoyed" by all under the sad circumstances.
    Thank you, a job well done!
