Entrusted my mum's final care into the hands of Julie and her team. They were marvellous, nothing was too much trouble. Julie was professional, kind and so approachable. The team that prepared mum for chapel of rest viewings, oh my goodness, my mum was beautiful. Julie guided us through everything and then introduced us to Claire Townsend (independent Celebrant) and again an amazing choice. Claire writes poetry, and wrote a poem encompassing my mum, she called it 'The keeper of Words', the poem moved my dad so much, he adored it. Claire conducted the funeral with grace and ease.

Thank you so much to Julie, Matt and James and his team on the day, in looking after Dad and his funeral arrangements last week. This was my first direct dealings with a funeral director and the compassion & professionalism shown towards us as a family and the respect shown to Dad was second to none. We truly felt looked after by Julie and the team and cannot thank them enough for all they did. Also, special mention to their recommended celebrant Vanessa Milligan who was superb leading up to the funeral and on the day. Thanks all.

The service we received was so good. Matthew our funeral director, was caring, informative and went through the whole procedure of events. We took up the offer of them printing our 'Order of Service' and were pleased with them. The Minister he choose was excellent and gave and gave a lovely service. The director who visited us on the eve of the funeral went through every detail and asked us for any wishes or for any special requests we may have had. I really liked the keepsake book they gave that held the flower cards and order of service. It was a nice touch. I would not hesitate in rec

I can't praise them enough. They took care of my dad first, then my mum last year. Julie went all out with everything for myself and my sisters and was so supportive, caring and always had time to talk, answer questions. I really can't thank Julie enough. Also I thank everyone else that helped myself and my sisters and looked after my mum. Thank you all so much. Angie

Really can’t recommend them highly enough. Julie in the office is calm and reassuring - exactly what you need when you’ve suffered a loss and don’t know where to turn and what to do. Jason the Funeral Conductor is amazing. Always in control and making sure that everything goes smoothly. Vanessa Milligan the Celebrant was also extremely helpful and took time to get to know my lovely Mum before we laid her to rest. To top it all, their pricing is very reasonable. 5 Star.
