From start to finish Deirdre helped us arrange my brother’s funeral, always willing to answer our questions and, as I was making the arrangements from the US she explained the whole process to me.

I highly recommend W. English & Sons (G.R Moss). My dad started a funeral plan many years ago and we were so well taken care of after his passing that I myself have now started my own 5 year plan. My dad passed away at home and from that day until the day he was buried the service was very good. All the staff were very thoughtful and the funeral director on the day was on top of everything which meant me and my family didn't have to worry about anything at all. Thank you Deirdre and Slavek 🙏
