Very professional and kept me up to date throughout process.

I cannot fault any aspect of Fulcher's service or care following my father's death. Although he died on a Saturday lunch time, within two hours they came to his home and collected him and treated both him and I with absolute respect.
Charlie was my contact who advised and supported our family throughout. Every detail was covered and explained including the initial dealing with West Suffok Crematorium, scanned photos for his celebration of life etc etc. Every member of staff we met when visiting Fulchers could not have been more supportive and helpful.
On the day of his service there was an accident on the A14 which closed it for a period of time. They phoned me to make me aware and the slight change of timings of cars so that we would still arrive at the Crematorium on time.
Just exceptional service which is exactly what you need when dealing with loss and grief. A MASSIVE thank you.

Dawn made every part of the process as easy as it could be in the circumstances, caring, efficient and incredibly professional. Having John directing my mother‘s funeral made the whole day pass with a level of personal emotion and caring and I am indebted to Fulchers for this.
