Sorry Aaliyah it took some time to write this 5 star review. If I could give you more i would. Thank you for everything you and your colleagues did for both myself and family. We wanted a celebration of life service and that's exactly what we got. Alan our Celebrant was brilliant. I have never been to a cremation, where everyone laughed and smiled. Thank you so much. It was a sad day but also a happy day that nobody who attended will ever forget. Thank you all from the Heath/Duffey family.

Dawn was excellent on during my phone calls and in-person visit. She was respectful and empathetic towards my needs and showed a lot of flexibility. I could not recommend W English and Sons highly enough.
