Staff were professional and very caring when dealing with my father’s funeral. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything was considered and our needs were at the forefront from beginning to end. When a funeral director tells you which bits of the conversation you might cry at, you know that they care. This is an excellent company and I would highly recommend it.
Whilst in the middle of our Bereavement, this firm and it’s staff were truly wonderful to us. The compassion, dignity and professionalism which we were given at this time was second to none. I wasn’t on ‘a budget’ but my late Dad chose everything he wanted…In other words…He just ‘wanted to go where he was going without a huge fanfare and malarky’. It all went as my Dad wanted it but what a day it was.
