I first came to Ian Clark’s 9 years ago when they handled a funeral for me for my uncle, Sue was amazing then, and I always knew I would return to them when the time came for me to arrange one for my mum.
Both Sue and Catherine were superb, and I felt so reassured, supported and cared for by them that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They made a very difficult sad time so much easier to cope with, their advice on everything was great, they were warm and emphatic and I am so happy that I chose them to look after my mum. Thank you so much to both of them and all the team
