Rated 5/5
Chose Thompsons to arrange our mums cremation after she passed recently, from the two guys who came to collect mum from home to the Pall-bearers on the day we could not have asked for better treatment. Amanda who made all of the arrangements and did everything from discussing the familys requests to making sure everything was perfect in enabling us to visit mum in the on site chapel, i visited mum every day and was always made to feel welcome and not in the way, i was given as much time as i needed with mum and she was helped to look exactly as we remembered her even down to her hair style. As a family we were treated with the upmost respect amd the dignity offered to mum helped the process that much easier. Amanda even informed us after we had collected mums ashes that whenever the family are ready they could help us in making arrangements to scatter her ashes if that is what we wanted. Thompsons made sure that during what was obviously a devastating time we would have that much less to worry about and it really did make a difference.

I was given a price over the phone and travelled from Manchester to Liverpool the next day to make the arrangements. I was told that the prices have just gone up today. I said no they haven’t you must honour the price you gave me yesterday. My hand are tied was the jist and i said i find you dishonourable but i am going now and i will give you half an hour to come to me and honour the price. I did not get a call and i soon made arrangements with a different director and a saving of nearly £500.00 and what I believe is a better all round deal.

The staff at the West Derby site were so helpful and understanding. My wife's death was not expected and the thoughtfulness of the staff really helped me and my daughters through arranging her funeral. I would honestly recommend Thompsons to anyone.
