I recently used the services of the Earl of Plymouth Funeral Directors. The whole team, from my first call were amazing, kind and caring. I would recommend Sarah, Terri and the whole team of Ladies to anyone who is planning a loved one’s funeral. My special thanks to our wonder driver Milly, she puts us at ease straight away. Nothing was too much trouble and all my messages were handled fully and promptly. Thank you all. Clare
