Rated 4.93 / 5 based on 15 reviews.
Rated 5/5
From initial meeting to the funeral 5 weeks later, Kay was friendly, supportive and understanding. She kept in contact all through the process of arrangements. Dean and his team on the day were excellent, professional and supportive, ensuring all our requests were met and making it as stress free as possible. My sister had the calm, beautiful and respectful farewell she had wanted. Thanks to all involved.

A very caring and professional set up, led by Jane at the Dursley office. She was very diligent in making the arrangements and kept us informed at all stages throughout. Absolutely no complaints at all.
