From the first telephone call in contacting Joe the funeral director, the service we received as a family went above and beyond any expectation. He kept us up to date with the transfer of my brother into his care and treat my brother with dignity and care. Joe guided us through every step of the planning , he was compassionate, and nothing was too much trouble. He recommended the humanist Sarah who gave an outstanding tribute to my brother. On the day of the funeral , he and his staff ensured all aspects of the arrangements went ahead as planned . The service was so well received by everyone we spoke to. I highly recommend Manor House to look after your loved ones.

Danny and the rest of the team were amazing, and really cared for my nana and also our family.  Unfortunately our family have lost a number of people recently and we have used Manor House each time. We would not hesitate to do so again in the future.  Thank you so much for everything you did to make this awful time a little bit easier.
