My sister had a funeral plan with Dignity and Davis McMullan were the designated funeral directors. The service I received was wonderful. I only had to choose the personal touches. I was helped through the whole process by Georgina whose patience and kindness seemed endless. The funeral service itself was calm and dignified and I couldn't have wished for better. Thank you to everyone who helped to make it bearable.
The premises were easy to find and there's plenty of free parking next to the building.

From the very first meeting I knew I’d left my brother in the most caring and capable of hands. Not only were we reassured and supported, we felt there was nothing that was too much trouble in making his last day on this earth a lovely and heartfelt celebration of life. Everything was perfect, Sarah you are an absolute star, I will never be able to thank you enough for your suggestions and effort in making Ira’s life celebration just what he and his family wanted.
