We could not be more grateful to Chris for all the support and care he gave not only to our Mam, but to us as a family. He kept in regular contact and updated us at all times regarding what was happening next. Mam went into Peter Johnson’s in Imeary Street, where she looked beautiful and looked exactly like we had asked her to be. Her funeral, which she had planned herself, was carried out just like she wanted it to be, basic, but everything perfect. Chris carried out Mams wishes and for that we will be eternally grateful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Absolutely fantastic, first class service Jamie was always on hand to help and answer our questions I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else for my own funeral🤞but not for several decades I hope. Thanks again for making my brothers funeral special. Best wishes Paul & Eileen
