Their attention to detail and polite dignified service provided for my brother was absolutely wonderful. Top marks and to the staff whose organisational, caring and professions skills were all excellent - left no stress to family.

The staff are very good listeners, nothing was to much and the care and consideration they used at this hard time was second to none. Laura kept me updated all the way through the process and even came in and offered encouraging words, when I went to visit my mum at the chapel of rest
We have used Wolstenholme funeral service for every family funeral I can remember and the service has never altered. Thai would be a funeral director I would be using in the future if needed.
