The team at Middleton & Wood have been excellent in dealing with both the collection of our Mum from the care home and the funeral. itself. Even though it was a pre-paid funeral plan they treated us with the greatest of dignity and helped to fulfil all of the wishes our Mum made in the funeral plan. Their care and attention on the day of the funeral was very comforting.

I have nothing but great things to say about the service we received from Middleton and wood. They were totally professional throughout but also kept it very personal for our family. Nicola, ebony and all the team were fantastic, we can’t thank them enough for everything they did. My dad got the send off he deserved.
