Rated 5 / 5
Although Pymms have taken care of our family funerals, I had a call/ email around for
comparative quotes. I did find a cheaper provider but when I visited their chapel of rest where my loved ones overseas visitors would have seen her for the last time, I was disappointed to find the competitors space was tiny and not fit for purpose. It was a hallway where 2 people standing made it feel crowded so I’m not sure where the coffin would go. So I circled back to Pymms and I’m so glad I did. They were very responsive to my demands and very comforting in what has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult periods of my life. Pauline in particular went the extra mile to help make my loved ones send off deservedly special. And I loved the paging that Amber did on the day. It was so poignant and respectful. Dan was also very helpful when I started panicking about timescales and decisions. My loved one looked so peaceful and beautifully herself for the chapel of rest that I struggled to leave the room, just kept looking at her lovingly for last glimpses of her beloved face. I would wholeheartedly recommend Pymms. Not the cheapest provider, but very much in line price wise with other Maidenhead company’s, and a truly personal service where I felt my loved one was cherished and cared for in her final journey to be laid to rest. Thanks to the whole team, those mentioned and those who worked behind the scenes. Our family are very grateful.
