Nic has been amazing as usual. We have been unfortunate over the past few years to loose a number of loved ones and Nic has sorted each one. From start to finish everything run smoothly and nothing was too much. Thank you so much for everything x

We cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism, care and compassion shown to us by Neil, Patsy and the team at Newsome’s. They have been our family funeral director for many years and the service they provide is second to none.
We laid my Dad to rest and Neil & his team looked after us every step of the way during this heartbreaking time. The communication from Neil & Patsy was exemplary with follow up calls to make sure we were ok & all was going to plan.
The celebrant, Kathryn Methley who they appointed was outstanding and gave us a beautiful service for Dad.
Neil and Patsy you are an amazing team, thank you both so much for taking care of Dad & for helping us through such a difficult time.
With love from Diane and Family ❤️
