Donna was very helpful and helped me sort things out. I was travelling back and forward from Eastbourne to Watford so she always accommodated me to fit in with that.

From the time I stepped into Macleans the excellent customer service started from there. Donna had empathy, kindness and the human touch money cannot buy. At a terrible time I was guided through all the options at my own pace. The arrangements for the funeral and the funeral itself was first class and I highly recommend these funeral directors if you are unfortunate to lose a loved one.

Macleans were professional, respectful and caring from the moment I lost my Father until after the funeral. I couldn't have wished for better care to have been taken of him. I would highly recommend the services of Macleans to anybody.
Thank you to the staff of Macleans for making a very difficult time a little more bearable.
