Very good service and very good communication throughout
definitely will use again if we need to
Special thanks to Emma who was so polite and explained things we did not quite understand and was very patient with us too.
Thank you again from all the Gill family
★★★★★ Our thanks to RC Payne & Sons for exemplary service, from the minute we met Emma to the end of the funeral with Mat. Very professional with plenty of opportunities for support in what for many is their first experience of dealing with death. Many thanks.
