Incorrect information passed to family, calls from office cut off mid discussion as staff had to take other calls or had another task to complete. Unable to attend to sign documents on site to suit my calendar as restricted availability only available due to Director using the room for families.When collecting ashes door was open so I entered property to be confronted by a gentleman saying I expected the bell to ring and you to be outside very directly as if I was wrong to walk into an open doorway.

Everything was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. We were kept informed at every stage by Natalie and the team. They did everything that they said they would do. They were kind, considerate and compassionate. Could not be more highly recommended.
