After a shaky start with Thompsons Walton Vale, I changed the location to Bedford Road, Bootle and I have no hesitation in saying what a wonderful team they all were, can't fault any of the staff. Andrew was absolutely faultless in his handling of the funeral, hearse and service too. After a hiccup with the arrangements at Walton Vale, the Bootle team went all out to make up and put right the matter. Thank you to all.
