A first class service from the start with Karen to the cars and palbearers to the appointment of our celebrant Nicola.At a time of great loss the head usher asked me to turn around I was absolutely dumb struck by the assembled congregation which I would never have seen without this small prompt in a time of grief. Thank You All at Sincerity.
