Reviews of our services
Thanks to Shirley and her Team
Our only disappointment was that we were not able to choose a different coffin without paying another £1500 for the package we had, bearing in mind with COVID restrictions we had no choice.
However Butlers were excellent perhaps Dignity need to rethink this in light of what is happening with the pandemic.
