The staff at Lazenby and Scorah were so kind and helpful after my husband passed away. Mary and Bernardine kept me informed at every step. I was able to see my husband at the funeral home in a quiet area where I could say my last goodbye.
The funeral was booked - church, vicar, graveyard; funeral notices in the local paper , and service booklet. Nothing was too much trouble.
On the day of the funeral the staff were very formal and respectful. All in all I felt my husband had the funeral he deserved. And I was treated with such kindness; I’ll never forget. Thank you so much.

Excellent, faultless service throughout. Highly professional in every manner. Superb staff who cared and showed compassion throughout. Mary and Bernadine were terrific and took all the stress out of a difficult situation.
