very easy to deal with and easy to contact and get hold of. took a lot of stress away from me and conducted the whole service with class and sophistication just like my friend would have wanted. Thank you Kelly of Mill Hill and will always use you but hopefully not too often! We could not have done it, or got through it without you.
