Father died February they still can't find the headstone that they removed before his interment. Definitely keep away it's so upsetting and it feels like nobody cares.

Andrew and his team at Meynell & Mason Newton Aycliffe were absolutely marvellous. The very personal and caring service they gave, and their care of my brother was faultless. A real empathy and understanding was shown and very much tailored to our situation - not run of the mill. Thank you very much.
