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 motherβ€˜s funeral made the whole day pass with a level of personal emotion and caring and I am indebted to Fulchers for this.

This company have been fantastic, compassionate and extremely understanding at a very difficult time in my children and my life. From the first call I made enquiring about their service they were respectful and compassionate . The situation surrounding our children’s dad’s death wasn’t an easy one, yet every single person within Fulchers treated Tony and the family delicately. Personal phonecalls to us were made to check how we all were, and with plenty of updates on the planning of a service funeral made the whole situation a lot less stressful than it could’ve been.

The pall bearers were professional extremely smart, and took care of Tony and his coffin in an admirable manner. I couldn’t be more grateful for the service that they provided.

Thank you all so much for the support on the day and with the planning to achieve the kind of ceremony Tony would have been so proud of.

A million stars 🌟 from us all xx

We chose Fulcher's as they had lovingly cared for our stepfather after he passed . We chose them again for our much loved mum . I have given you 5 stars . However you would have had 6 but is is seriously inappropriate to email me with the bill on the day of anybody's loved ones' funeral !! . I had literally just got home !!!!
