Vanessa and all the other staff members at Birtwistle's were wonderful. They were very sympathetic, more like friends than someone providing a service. Nothing was too much trouble. Can't thank them enough for making a difficult time easier to deal with.

I would highly recommend Birtwistles. Nothing was too much trouble, they accommodated my every request and carried out their duties with dignity, respect and care. They made the worst time of my life a little easier to bear. Thankyou to Jane and Shirley.
