Derwentside Funeral Services are to be thoroughly recommended for the excellent way they arranged my husband's funeral recently. My family were treat with dignity and respect. Everything we asked for we got and more. There was always someone there at the end of the phone to answer any questions we had. Thank you very much, my family will never forget your kindness at this very sad time!
