Very expensive for what was provided. Perhaps it's market prices, but it felt about £1000 more than was reasonable.

Whilst the 1st meeting with staff to arrange funeral for my mum was good, there wasn,t a great amount after.I had to ring on two occassions to find out info, to which I was informed they had info and was just about to ring me. There was no follow up calls after funeral to see if all went well and everything was as arranged. When paying balance off again then was no asking if all went ok and if we were happy with with arrangements. A little bit of concern and condolences would of been nice.
