What a fantastic service! Liz and team have been excellent from start to finish. Their attention to detail is faultless, nothing has been too much trouble and the service they offer is very personalised.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Newsomes , thank you once again Liz.

Excellent from start to finish. Liz and her colleague at Newsome's tailored the service and flower arrangement exactly to our needs- nothing was too much trouble. Liz also recommended a lovely gentleman called Kevin to write and deliver the eulogy- this, again, was spot on and exactly what we wanted! The service went smoothly and it was just the send off my uncle would have wanted.
