I would like to thank Jodie and all the team at EH Crouch Baldock for their care and attention taken when arranging my Auntie Angela's funeral held at St Hugh's Catholic Church in Letchworth on Mon 6th July 2026.
The staff there went above and beyond to help me and plan everything due to me living down in Somerset. I was so grateful with the guidance that Jodie gave me and the help given to deliver a beautiful service that Angela would have been extremely pleased with. I was over the moon with the order of service that they created on my behalf and arranged to get printed. So much time and thought was taken to ensure that every detail was covered and this made such a daunting responsibility so much more manageable and what's more, I didn't feel alone in planning it all. I am truly so grateful to you all so thank you once again for everything. Kind Regards Christina Osmond.
