Reviews for Lazenby & Scorah Funeral Directors

Rated 5 / 5 based on 31 reviews.

Rated 5/5

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.
