Rated 4.75 / 5 based on 12 reviews.
Rated 5/5
From the first phone call, to arrange collection of my mum when she passed, to the funeral service itself everything was perfect. I can’t thank you all enough for your outstanding support and care. You made such a difference at a really difficult time. Thank you.
Would highly recommend.

Very disappointed with headstone procedure. Headstone taken away in June to have mother's details inscribed on. No sign of it being back in grave yard. Step brother called in to chase it up told 5 to 6 weeks yet! Why was it taken away in June if no intention of it being done until September. I'm very distressed as awful going to grave as looks like a building site. Poor practice.
