Myself & my family would like to thank Crista for all help whilst Uncle was in her care. Crista went above and beyond on duty aswell as off if. Nothing was too much trouble. Words of encouragement, hugs, updates, and just taking the time to see how i was doing.
Crista is an absolute asset to the Denton branch and will make a fantastic funeral director.
Thank you 🩷🩷

From start to finish the quality of the care we received as family members as well as the care our loved one received was outstanding. Crista provided such a caring, personalised service & went above and beyond to help us during this time. The whole team made the funeral day a beautiful tribute & we couldn’t have asked for a more touching day. Every little detail small or big was handled by Crista perfectly with communication regularly. We would like to thank everyone at S.P Astley

Crista is one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. Called S.P. Astley when my grandma was very poorly in hospital and from the first moment I spoke to Crista she made me feel at ease during such a difficult time. The whole process did not feel like we were planning a funeral, it felt like I was talking to a friend. Crista would always check in with me to see how we were doing and the funeral we had for my Grandma was the most amazing way we could give my Gran an amazing send off. Crista you were a god send. Thank you for making such an incredibly sad time an absolute breeze. Can not recommend S.P. Astley enough for an incredible send off for your loved ones❤️
