What families say about us
Rated 4.9 / 5 based on 45 reviews.
Rated 5 / 5
I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff that facilitated my mum’s funeral yesterday, their care of us and respect they gave my mum were exceptional and made a difficult time easier to bear. From the first phone call and meeting with Aaliyah everyone was sympathetic and made the whole process easy to deal with. The celebrant Steve was excellent. I thoroughly recommend this company they are professional and caring.
Many of the family that attended commented that the service was lovely and totally reflected my mum. I was kept informed at all times and checked on to make sure I was ok and comfortable throughout the experience of dealing with B Wallis and Son.
Thank you
Susan Miles and family.
