Reviews for Francis Chappell & Sons Funeral Directors in Upper Norwood
On the day the manager called me as I was nervous about the journey as there were a lot of road works, he re assured me that he had done the trip and it was running smoothly. Our driver and passenger we very curtious and kind, they never rushed us even after the ceremony the just waited patiently until we were ready to depart.
Would I recommend francis chapel? Absolutely!! My partner and I are going to purchase ours very soon.
I really cannot praise Francis Chappell & Sons and Dignity Funerals for the service I received, it was second to none. My mum bought a funeral plan many years ago and I thought this may had a effect on the service I received. It really did not, it was a wonderful day a good old fashioned day with much sadness but nothing but admiration and thanks for the people involved in giving my old mum the send we wanted and she would have enjoyed. Thanks again.
