After a shaky start with Thompsons Walton Vale, I changed the location to Bedford Road, Bootle and I have no hesitation in saying what a wonderful team they all were, can't fault any of the staff. Andrew was absolutely faultless in his handling of the funeral, hearse and service too. After a hiccup with the arrangements at Walton Vale, the Bootle team went all out to make up and put right the matter. Thank you to all.

The lady we saw called Jayne was exceptionally kind, sensitive and helpful. At the same time, she was very organised and professional. I am very glad that we had her, to help us sort out everything, at such an upsetting time in our lives.
