Wootten's staff were all so kind and helpful, talking us through every step of the process with respect and humour when needed, it was much appreciated. The thoughtful way they asked the necessary questions, and answered our queries, were dealt with in such a way that we were all comfortable with the outcomes.

From the people who answered the phone, administered paperwork, and the staff present at the crematorium, they made the day of mum's funeral run smoothly, my heartfelt thanks.

Thank you to E Wootten for their care and compassion in the preparation for saying goodbye to my dad, Harry Lewis. They took care of his body for a long time, due to Covid we had to give time for key members of the family to take leave and isolate from Ireland. The team were very accommodating when we had a handover period, after our cycle procession. We didn't feel rushed and they waited patiently with the hearse. At the cemetery one of our guests who is disabled, fell, and she was kindly looked after. Our thanks to all your team. Kind regards, Heather
