Rated 5/5

My sister had previously arranged her own funeral so didn't really think we had much to do. When the time came we thought it would be straight forward. Thank God we had Jo and other staff members on hand. Jo talked us through everything we needed to do and made us feel so at ease with any questions we had. From picking her up from the hospice and all the bits in between to the actual funeral we couldn't have asked for anything better. My sister was treated with great respect all the way. They made us feel that nothing we asked for was out of reach. There was always somebody on the end of the phone always willing to help. They even phoned us checking that we were all coping with bits we had too do. Would highly recommend Spotland Bridge Funerals all the way. Much appreciated 👏 💐 Jessica Doolan
