Rated 5 / 5
I highly recommend Lawrence Funeral Directors. Our personal liaison person was Fleur and she was very sensitive and caring from beginning to end. Everything was explained very clearly. She was accommodating with our family's wishes and ready to offer advice when needed. Her team were very dignified and treated all our family and friends with great respect. Many thanks to everyone, especially Fleur.

The service provided by Lawrence's was excellent throughout.
Shelly, who was the funeral director, was extremely professional, courteous, considerate and informative at every stage. She handled everything with great care and compassion, making a difficult time a little bit easier.
I would highly recommend their services.

The staff at Lawrence Funeral services were brilliant. Fleur who we spoke to frequently was efficient and lovely. They were all helpful, sympathetic, professional and personal, nothing was too much trouble and everything they did made things so much easier for the family. They simply couldn’t have done anything any better. What an amazingly professional and straight forward organisation, we would seriously recommend them to everyone.
