Thank you E H Crouch
Losing a parent is never an easy thing, even though my father was 96 years old.
When we met with Laura at the Baldock office, we could not ask for a more understanding and sympathetic person. She took us through everything one step at a time, ensuring that she understood what we wanted and made sure that everything was in place for the day, including arranging for an excellent celebrant in Graham Ellis.
On the day, the hearse, directors and coffin were immaculate. As family members were to be pallbearers, Nick and his team talked them through the steps and motions, remaining in the wings almost invisible to ensure that nothing went wrong.
As funerals go, we could not ask for a better team to have worked with.

From start to finish Laura and the team were excellent at the Baldock branch as they had been for my mothers 18 months before.
They made good suggestions and were so helpful
Graham Ellis the celebrant and Nick Pugh the head of the team on the day were brilliant to give my dad a good send off and celebrate his life before his resting place at Wilbury Cemetery
