I can’t thank A V Band St John’s enough for their exceptional service towards my Dad & i & especially Chantelle for her support, professionalism, compassion & kindness to both of us & also her caring nature towards my lovely Mum which meant the world to us at this most sad & difficult time & everything about my Mum’s service was beautiful & all that we hoped for.
Thank-you so much to her & her team 🩷

The support we got and received for my Great nans funeral was truly amazing. Chantelle was brilliant with pulling everything together and really truly embracing who my great nan was. The funeral and service carried out for her was truly beautiful. I can’t recommend this company enough. And Chantelle was truly amazing for the way she handled everything! ❤️

Chantelle did an amazing job for me and my family at the most worse time of our lives. No request was too big and everything was dealt with compassion and pride. Everyone at St John’s were super helpful and empathetic along the way. Thank you so much.
