★★★★★ Everything went perfectly thanks to Anne, who was very helpfull and kind. I really appreciate all the help I received in that moment.
★★★★★ We can’t thank Derek Moss funeral services enough especially Kristina. Sadly when mum died, we were at a loss what to do. Kristina gently guided us through the process. Her attention to detail is exceptional and she treated me, my family and especially our Mum with the up most respect at all times. Kristina is courteous and shows empathy - a real ambassador for Derek Moss and Dignity. Also, thanks to Ann at the CLS branch for being so respectful and even spraying mums perfume for us before we arrived to say our final farewell to a wonderful mum. It’s the little details that mean the most! Than
