Couldn't ask for a better funeral service. Ross, Matthew and the team were very helpful and compassionate and made organising the funeral for my aunt that little bit easier despite it having to be arranged over a distance via phone calls and emails as I'm based in Cornwall. The day of the funeral went off beautifully, and was a lovely final send off my dear Aunt. Thank you once again. Highly recommended.

We chose T S Horlocks to arrange our mums funeral after using them many years ago for our dad. The service was as amazing now as it was then.
The arrangements were made by Ross and he was a pleasure to work with. He was kind and gave us time to discuss decision's amongst ourselves. There was no pressure to add anything we did not want. We trusted him to choose our celebrant and he chose Maria Williams. She was wonderful and we was so happy with the eulogy she gave for mum.
Matthew was in contact a couple of times before the service to ask if we were ok and to double check the arrangements were all correct. On the day he and his team carried out their duties with dignity, compassion and respect for us and our mum. We was also given a memory box with our order of service, forget me not seeds, our flower cards and space to add our own items and mums photo in a frame. It was a lovely surprise and will be treasured.
Thank you to all the team for making a difficult time that bit easier for us
