Cannot fault the level of service we received from everyone at A E Thurlow for making the process so easy. And to Ros, you went above and beyond - you're an absolute star!

The whole team looked after the departed respectfully and with dignity, and from start to finish we were shown immense kindness and patience as we navigated each step.

On the day, the team were professional, and supportive. Many thanks for the hugs on the day from Jon and the other pallbearers and for helping us with the flowers after the service.

Sevice and attention to detail could never have been better.Every one we connected with on your team was efficient, courteous, sympathetic and farreaching in their efforts to ensure we received everything would be just as we envisaged. Perfect in every detail.

A special mention for Ros at Ixwoth, she was a star.
