From arranging to collect our Mum, to the flowers, to arranging the photos and celebrant, Francis Chappell were so kind and helpful. Janet was lovely and made everything so much easier at such a difficult time. On the day of the funeral, Paul was simply wonderful. We are so grateful to everyone involved for their kindness and support and for a send off that our Mum would be proud of. A million thank yous.
