We used Laura when she was at Loughton, for my mum 2 years ago. I was so impressed with her back then and to find she re-located not far from there, again, we were delighted. Seems an odd thing to say when talking about a funeral but Laura is certainly the right person for the job. Kind, sympathetic and knows her job inside and out. Ready to give advise and covers everything. I would recommend D.W. John's all day long. Laura is a true ambassador for them and they are lucky to have her.

Laura was incredibly helpful and patient, guiding us through the whole process with professionalism and sympathy. I can’t praise her highly enough.
