My family and I would recommend Rathbones highly for their care of us and our late Dad. They handled us and everything with kindness and respect. A special mention to Veronica, Racheal and Martin on the day.

Absolutely incredible, personal and caring service from first contact to after-funeral follow-up care. Will be making my own funeral plan with them in very shortly. Highly recommended.
