Living nearly 300 miles away and trying to organise a funeral is not an easy task but staff were brilliant. We managed to arrange a cremation for my Mum that addressed both her and my wishes whilst I was in the area with the final touches being arranged at distance. On the day everything went smoothly and nothing was rushed. The family in attendance all commented on it being a very peaceful and relaxed service.
The Staff were even able to suggest some suitable venues for us to gather for the wake. I especially appreciated the folder of cards/ memories and the framed photo which were unexpected. Thank you for making the day memorable and stress free.
