Portland Funeral Directors made the planning of my wife’s funeral straight forward. Alan guided us through the process with dignity and compassion helping us to make informed decisions as to what we should do with all aspects of the ceremony. They put us in touch with an excellent celebrant in Sandy Gibson who was patient with our recalling memories of my wife and her life that sometimes we had forgot. We would certainly recommend Portland Funeral Directors to anyone who needs their services
