We cannot thank Amber and the team at DC POULTON AND SONS
Enough for the care,compassion and professionalism they showed us during such an incredibly difficult time following the loss of my father. From the very beginning, they treated my father and our family with the utmost dignity, respect and kindness Every detail was handled with great care.
Thank you all so much the Mann Family

From the outset I received friendly professional courteous service putting my mind at ease at a difficult time. I was guided by Amber every step of the way making for a most beautiful funeral and service. I am so glad I had Amber at D C Poulton and Sons Epping.

I can’t praise enough the experience we had with DC Poulton following my mother’s passing. Mum was 97 and living independently at home . Her death was passed to the coroner for further investigation. Amber at the Epping office was just amazing. Thoughtful, empathetic but gently guiding us . I can thank or praise her enough.
The ceremony held at Green Acres went exactly as we had planned . The family would like to thank everyone at the Epping office but particularly Amber . Thank you so much .
