Our Mother had a pre-paid plan with Dyson Richards, Shirley. This was incredibly helpful when she passed away. Staff at the branch, Nina and Leanne were friendly, polite and helpful in all communications. Nina was very helpful and supportive in helping us to arrange the service, explaining options clearly and answering all our questions. Craig was excellent on the day ensuring everything went smoothly, which it did. We are very grateful to all that helped us for ensuring a smooth and straightforward service.
