My family and I instructed Meynell & Mason Funeral Directors to arrange our stepfather’s funeral. We couldn’t have asked for a better service. Terry and the team were incredibly supportive throughout the whole process and didn’t treat us like a number. They kept us updated every step of the way and made what is a difficult process, a far easier one. We would highly recommend their service.
