Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences we have to face in our lifetime so when my dad died it was important to me to go to the funeral directors who had been there for dad and I when my mum died nearly 15 years ago. I recognised Maggie straight away and felt instantly reassured and comforted that she would be there for us again. Maggie is warm, intuitive and professional - nothing is too much. The door was always open if I needed to discuss arrangements or talk about dad. I really appreciated this and felt welcome. On the day of the funeral the chief undertaker treated us all with kindness and empathy - checking in with us all that everything was as we wanted. My father was treated with respect and dignity. Thank you very much for the personal, sensitive service you gave us.

Francis Chappell have been quietly caring and efficient with the arrangements for my mothers funeral. Everything was taken care of professionally and with dignity regarding the care of my mother from the home where she died,arranging for my sister (who lives in Suffolk) to see her in the chapel of rest and making and adapting the arrangements at the crematorium. Nothing was too much trouble and their help was invaluable during an extremely emotional time.
