I would like to say a huge thank you to Phillip Ford & Son team for a great professionalism during such a difficult time for our family.
Victoria was absolutely wonderful, compassionate and very understanding throughout the whole process. Everything was prepared beautifully and with great care, and we were extremely pleased with how everything was handled.
My grandmother looked beautiful and peaceful in her coffin, which meant so much to our family. We truly appreciated the care and dignity that was given to her.
Thank you for making such a difficult and emotional time a little easier for us. We are very grateful for everything you did.
