From my very first contact with Francis Chappell in Farnborough Orpington I found all the staff to be always courteous and understanding of my needs. I felt under no pressure to choose any particular option for my wife's funeral. On my initial visit to their office I felt unable to confirm every aspect of the arrangements but Nicki put me at ease and explained that I could think things over and let her know what I wanted.
On the day of the funeral all the arrangements went without a hitch and our family and friends were all treated with dignity and respect.
