The understanding in my most difficult time was exceptional,
On my first contact Jen was brilliant, then I was mostly dealing with Sandra who is a credit to you, her due-diligence in every request and wish was mind blowing, I couldn’t have achieved what I had to do without her,
I thank you so much.
I also would like to thank everyone in the background who are no less important ? I thank you all 🙏

Professional friendly service from start to finish, honestly could not have wished for a better send off for my Dad. Jennifer could not have been more accomodating with the family and Yva's service was a true reflection of my Dad and his life.
Many thanks to all involved.
David.

Fraser at Dorricott Funeral Directors gave us a first class service. Great advice, went above and beyond to do what he could for us in terms of contacting relevant authorities and was always at the end of a phone call. Very respectful and professional. Could not have done any more for us as a family and the whole day of the funeral went exactly to plan. Would highly recommend.
