From start to finish over the last few weeks Sara has been absolutely outstanding. Lawrence Funeral Directors have made a turbulent period much more bearable than we could have imagined. Their care and attention to my family and on the day of my mum's funeral was exemplary.

When my dad passed away suddenly, the shock and grief were overwhelming and compounded by the sheer number of decisions that needed to be made almost immediately. I was completely unprepared and didn’t know where to begin. The police required a nominated funeral director before moving my dad, and I felt lost.
Thankfully, Laurence’s Funeral Directors were recommended to me, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment I got in touch, they lifted an immense weight off my shoulders. At such a vulnerable time, their compassion, patience and professionalism made a world of difference.
Shelly and Ben handled every detail with warmth and clarity. They never rushed me, and always worked at my pace, offering gentle guidance while respecting my choices. Every member of the team was outstanding genuinely caring, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring my dad was treated with the utmost dignity.
The service they arranged was beautiful, thoughtful, respectful and a true reflection of my dad presented by a really good celebrant. It was everything I could have hoped for in honouring his memory.
I will always be thankful for Laurence’s. In a time of confusion and sadness, they brought calm, kindness and a deeply personal touch.

We used Lawrence Funeral Directors for our Dad's funeral in June. Our Dad passed very suddenly, and having never dealt with anything like this before, I was extremely overwhelmed and didn't know where to start.
Mark was extremely helpful and respectful and was in contact with us from start to finish. He is a lovely man who put us at ease straight away.
We had a small service held at their onsite chapel, which was just perfect for our Dad and just what we wanted. They recommended a celebrant called Judith to us, who was also wonderful. In such a sad and stressful time, it really helped to know that everything was being taken care of. Thank you.
