Rays funersl 9th Nov 2018. W&T staff were professional, and helpful throughout. They were able to answer any questions and did not rush arrangements and flexible to accommodate any changes to plans or requests we wanted. They sorted all the area menus including church, vicar, other of service and cars etc. The day went as well as we could have hoped for and my late father would have been content I am sure. Recommended service. Thank you all at W&T Neal

Sue and James made us feel relaxed and comfortable and guided us through the funeral process as sympathetically as possible. They kept  in contact through the whole process and kept us politely informed along the way and organised a perfect celebrant Barbara, who spent a lot of time with us to write the perfect life story. On the day the funeral procession was timely and very professional, and the service was conducted with passion and grace.  A very traditional funeral directors that was a very fitting end to a special persons life.
