Very happy with the service provided by Lawrence's for my mothers funeral. Everything was arranged by Donald who was very sympathetic and took the time to explain everything and advise of all the changes ongoing due to Covid. This was great as I had no real Idea what to do. On the day everything went well. Excellent

Ref Lawrence Funeral Directors:
From the very first contact with LFD regarding my mother’s funeral it was shear professionalism all the way. The staff took time go through our requirements for the funeral offering advice and assistance, they were able to organise a minister to take the service, arranging flowers, notices for the local paper and the service booklets. We had several phone calls before the service to ensure that everything was satisfactory.
The day of the service various members of the family met at the offices in Saville Park ahead of the service, the staff served them tea and biscuits. The service at the crematorium was perfect, so well organised!
A few days after the service we were called by the staff just to check that we were all OK, which we thought was a real nice touch!
We couldn’t fault the service by LFD.

I could not have asked more from a funeral director. They helped us from start to finish. they guided us through a terribly hard time informed us of what we needed to do, advised us on all elements required in planning a funeral and were compassionate and empathetic throughout the process. On the day of the funeral they were supportive reassuring and extremely organised. I would definitely recommend them to others in this sad situation.

I can not thank everyone enough for all their support they showed my family and friends with the passing of my mum. From the moment my mum was in their care they gave me a helping hand in everything I wanted for my mums final journey. They gave my mum all the love and dignity she deserved in her final couple of weeks. Everyone went above and beyond and they even opened their doors out of hours so I could visit my mum 24-7. I must give a special mention to Louise who was my point of contact, she was absolutely amazing from the beginning. I would have no hesitation in putting myself and other members of my family into the hands of Lawrence for our final journey. Professional through and through.

Donald has been absolutely brilliant, always caring and concerned for our welfare, nothing has been too much trouble for him. He has kept in touch with us all the way through, checking things were as we wanted them to be.
When I have contacted or called in to Lawrences everyone has been professional and courteous.
The only thing that disappointed me was when I received the ashes, I opened them after Donald had left and wasn't very happy to see them in a plastic bag inside a cardboard box, the funeral wasn't cheap I wanted the best I could afford but in my opinion that spoilt it.
This would have been a five star rating I just feel that this lets your service down.
