I would like to thank Ginns & Gutteridge in Loughborough for the excellent service they provided for my mum's funeral. Leisa and Debbie were very supportive and caring, and guided me through the process with kindness and consideration. Also on the day, Suzanne the celebrant and Scott provided support and ensured that everything ran smoothly.
