Nicola at Maxwell Funeral Directors was really supportive and considerate throughout and arranged for a beautiful memorial tablet for our Dad's grave in time for the anniversary. We highly recommend Maxwell Funeral Directors and Nicola. Thank you

My meetings and messages with Nicola Thompson at Ashton Maxwell have always been professional and helpful, the attention to detail and extensive knowledge have made the process much easier to deal with.
I doubt I could find myself in better hands.

My resident was picked up from Camberwell Lodge Care Home in the least dignified way! The undertakers were too quick, pushed the body and not carried them - despite there being two undertakers! Then put them on the side walk in a residential area with a school around! I called them straight away and they said they would call me back - they had not!
We usually recommend Albins and Udens - use them for dignified care for your loved one!
