From day one Stephen looked after us.we tragically lost our 18 year old son. Stephen kept us updated. Once Billy was repatriated back to the uk and at his resting place Fiona took good care of him. The blue coffin was stunning the horses carriage, hearse limos and gents were all top notch. You never want to bury your child never but Stephen made things as easy for us. Thank you from us Tina John & ebony
