Nothing was too much trouble with Sherlocks.  They made everything easy for us.

Donna Walton 30th Aug 2021

Sherlock Funeral Services provided an efficient and compassionate service. Communication was excellent throughout the process and really helped to make this difficult time more bearable. Both Clive and Maria were professional and caring.

Nobody ever wants to be dealing with a Funeral Director. However, I found Maria and Clive at Sherlocks to very supportive, helpful, compassionate and professional. If you have the unfortunate task of needing a funeral director, then I would highly recommend them - they will give you all the help you need to get through this difficult time, full of the support and advice that you need, with care and attention. Very sorry for your loss if you are looking at reviews and considering where to go.
