Maninder was very helpful and professional in the way in which she dealt with the family and assisting in getting mum ready for the funeral.

We were well looked after during this difficult period. Once the funeral was arranged, the communication was excellent and the co-odination with the gurdwara was seamless which took the pressure off our hands as everything was well organised. The care taken to check if the coffin would fit in the house was handled with sensitivity and everything was done with dignity and in a peaceful way. Thank you for your service.
