Mrs Maureen S.

Firstly I phoned a few funeral directors, then I phoned R C Payne and spoke to a lovely lady called Sarah, she explained everything to me and gave me a very good price. So I phoned another funeral director and they didn’t seem to me to want to take on what I was asking. So I phoned Sarah back and made arrangement to come and see her, she made me feel at ease straight away we had a chat and I signed, she was so helpful, I’m so glad I picked R C Payne thank you so much....
