They did an amazing job from start to finish. Took all our special requirements (for our hindu faith) and delivered with no issues. Lovely staff at the Darlington branch, and our director Terry did a fantastic job. Everyone was lovely, patient and caring throughout the whole process. We had so many positive comments about the service from family and friends. Thank you for giving my mum a beautiful send off. ❤️
