What people say
★★★★★ We were all very pleased with the service we received from Lesley before the funeral and with Kevin on the day. Everything went smoothly and nothing was too much trouble. Both Lesley and Kevin put my mum at ease and were sensitive and empathetic during what was an incredibly sad and stressful time. Thank you once again. We would definitely recommend your services. Tracey BALCOMBE
★★★★★ Just wanted to say a big thank you to Lesley for your wonderful customer service this morning.
Real credit to this business
★★★★★ We used Michael Lawrence funeral directors when my Stepmother died. They were very efficient & Corrina was absolutely brilliant. As we live in Greece & we were flying home 6 days after the funeral she, along with one of the funeral directors, made sure we received the ashes before we left so that we could scatter the ashes. Corrina also introduced us to a lovely celebrant, Sophia Flaherty. Sophia was very kind but very efficient. When discussing the funeral she made us feel as though we were talking to old friend.
Not only would I highly recommend Michael Lawrence, I would highly recommend us
★★★★★ The service was very caring and friendly. The staff were very supportive and helped us through every stage. The celebrant was also very helpful and the day itself could not have gone any better. Everything went like clockwork. My Mother got the send off she deserved and would have wanted. The family would like to thank the staff at Michael Lawrence for making this difficult time easier. Thank you.
★★★★★ I was very pleased with the way the whole funeral arrangements were handled from start to finish. My Dad had paid for a funeral plan, and everything went very smoothly. The guest at the funeral all remarked how lovely the ceremony was. I can thoroughly recommend them.
