Rating 5.0
From the moment my mother's body was collected from my house and taken to await a post-mortem we felt looked after. We were kept informed about what was happening and guided through the whole process from start to finish. The staff were friendly and helpful every time I visited and nothing was too much trouble.
My mother had bought a funeral plan through Dignity (Age UK) and named a firm of undertakers that were local to her but not to me. When I telephoned them to inform them of her passing they offered to transfer the business over to John Shering, who are local to me, straight away, I did not have to ask.
We would thoroughly recommend this caring and professional company.
