Mr Peter R.

All the staff we dealt with at Edwards were caring, courteous and professional. Nothing was too much trouble which took a lot of pressure away from us as a family during such a difficult time. In particular Mona, who was our point of contact, was incredibly supportive and a special mention to Becky on the day of the funeral who not only ensured everything went smoothly but drove the hearse around Villa Park prior to the ceremony with no prior request from us. This was a really lovely gesture which my brother would have fully approved of. I would have no hesitation in recommending Edwards as a funeral service. Thank you to all the staff for a very professional job.
