The loss of our mum was huge to us but she had already made sure she had a funeral plan in place and fully paid for, this helped immensely and I am certainly going to make sure myself and my partner do this so that our children do not have any worry.
From the moment we made contact with A H Apps Funeral Directors regarding our Mum's funeral plan it was all made so much easier. Our first contact was Keren who was fantastic and thoroughly explained each step to us. Keren helped with everything from contacting the priest to ordering the music we had chosen for the crematorium and everything in between. E-mails were going backwards and forwards between us making sure the order of service was perfect.
On the day of the funeral everything went like clockwork, the car drivers turned up on time and were very patient and dignified. The service went perfectly, our mum got the send off she deserved. Everybody commented on the day as to how lovely and how well the service went.
I would 100% recommend that anybody with any doubts about Funeral Plans or using A H Apps, you will be completely looked after at a time when care, comfort and patience are needed.

I used AH Apps and Dignity funeral services for my father. I found them very considerate, polite, understanding, warm and helpful. I would highly recommend their services for anyone grieving and making arrangements for their loved one that has passed. The funeral day went really well and they have been with me before, during and after the ceremony. There is a lot to sort out when someone dies and they helped every step of the way.

At such a difficult time and doing the preparation on my own I found the whole experience of using Apps very heartwarming, and encouraging which helped put my mind at ease with the process involved. And on the day of the funeral too.( I loved the Lillie's in the office it was so welcoming along with my coffee )
