Rated 5/5
A huge thank you to all of the team at AG Simmonds, your care, respect, warmth and professionalism made the arranging of 2 funerals in 14 months a much easier process to bear.
To Sarah and all of the team in Barnstaple, I cannot thank you enough for the care you showed to myself and the family at a very difficult time.
I know that my Dad was well looked after in your care, and was treated like a member of your own family. I could see that when we visited him in the chapel of rest.
To anyone reading this review, if you require the services of a highly professional, caring funeral director, I would highly recommend the services of AG Simmonds in Barnstaple.
