I dealt mainly with Paul but did have interaction with Hazel (?). I can not fault my dealings with any of them. Their care, sympathy and understanding was 100% so how can you improve on perfection? From the first visit to the day of the funeral myself, and my husband Mike, were treated with the utmost reverence and respect.
I can’t thank them enough for making such a difficult and emotional time more bearable. Also for their recommendation of the celebrant, Phil Spicksley, as the perfect accompaniment to an already great team.
I can’t thank you enough
