A most excellent service from all the staff we came into contact with, nothing was to much trouble and the organisation was spot on. The suggestion of a detour along the seafront was appreciated and organising the Web cast for those that could not be there.It was viewed in Australia, Spain and Texas. Thank you everyone.

The whole experience was handled professionally, respectfully and considerately. Thank you especially to Rachael who was extremely helpful. As my mother's funeral had been pre-paid by herself over a decade earlier, and her instructions were very specific, if a little outdated by subsequent events, the options and requirements still outstanding were made clear. I was very impressed by the beautiful design of the Order Of Service memorial booklets. The service, intended as a tribute and celebration, went very smoothly and many of the attendant mourners commented on how lovely it all was. Highly recommended! Thank you.

At all times we were treated with compassion and kindness. Everything including costs was explained simply and with no pressure to exceed budgets. Once we had decided on what funeral arrangements we wanted then all arrangements were taken care of with no worry to ourselves. We were called regularly to check that we as people were coping ok with the situation and always asked if we needed help with anything and after the funeral were called to make sure we were ok. This caring attitude made all the difference to what was a very sad and emotional time.

From the arranging of the service, to booking the celebrant.It was organised efficiently .Which is what you want, when your dealing with a loved ones death. Extras like the flowers and order of service could not be faulted. Everybody complimented on what a fitting service it was for my mother. It just makes what is a sad day go that little bit easier. Thanks Martin & Staff.
