★★★★★ I would highly recommend this firm. Everything was handled professionally and sensitively. Chris's guidance was invaluable in helping my novice self organise my mum's funeral. My parents had taken out a funeral plan which I would also recommend as many decisions had already been taken in advance.
★★★★★ I would recommend 100%. I had a private funeral for my Dad so Colin read out a few poems & said the committal. We were treated very respectfully & didnt feel " alone" because it was private . All communication was answered very swiftly .
★★★★★ We as a family had an excellent experience with James Ashton &Edward McHugh they were very supportive and gave us good guidance and support which gave my dad (James Blair ) the good send of he deserved flowers were beautiful all music and tributes were spot on and Alan Morgan was excellent lots of positive comments from friends and family who attended , I would highly recommend them as a company to use
★★★★★ Appreciated everything you did. Would definitely recommend this company to help at a very sensitive time.
★★★★★ Lost my mother from start to end these people were fantastic very professional and also caring.
