My dad purchased a funeral plan with A G Simmonds in Barnstaple in 2015 which I was very grateful for, as Sarah made the whole experience so much easier. Everything was explained well and went very smoothly. I would recommend them as nothing was too much trouble and we had a lovely service. Thank you for all your help and support Sarah
