Thank you R Davies staff (Whitchurch) and especially Latasha for your kindness, care and professionalism in making the arrangements for my father’s funeral, December 2025.

We can only say the service provided by your Company at Whitchurch was second to none. Oliver and his team took care of us helping in every way from the arrangement and assistance with the orders of service to the very kind, respectful and sensitive way they escorted us all to the crematorium and afterwards. Not an easy day but made smoother and easier by their friendly but professional manner. Thank you all so much
Pat, Martin & Nick Clark.
