The customer service Mary provided was outstanding, making such a difficult situation to deal with easy.

I'd like to extend our thanks to Tony and all the guys at Cyril H Lovegrove also.

Jayne Tricker delivered a superb service and amazed me on how she had captured all what my sister and I had said our mum was like and interested in, enabling Jayne to deliver a very personal and lovely reflection of our mum.

I know that our mum would have been very happy with her send off and for all you and the team did to make my mums funeral so special. Thank you once again.

With the guidance and help of especially Mr George Ward from the Caversham Office the whole process was carried out in a professional , dignified and compassionate manner, the whole team were beyond helpful at this unexpected and difficult time.

I had a lot of personally feed back from our friends to say what a beautiful and fitting service it was from beginning to end and how Lovegrove’s staff behaved in such an unobstructed and competent manner . Thank you for allowing my husband , Michael Heath, to have had such a lovely send off for his final farewell from all that loved and knew him. Kind regards Mrs Christine Heath.
