R Butler’s handling of the arrangements for both by parents this year was first class. Faultless. Shirley in the Hailsham office was responsive, sensitive and professional Her team of Ushers were the same. I cannot speak more highly of R Butler. They made a difficult time significantly less stressful and distressing.

R Butlers provided a kind, compassionate and professional service. Shirley in particular was very supportive. We had to make all of the arrangements over the phone and Shirley went the extra mile to ensure everything went smoothly for us. We highly recommend the company and their staff.
