★★★★★
Reached out to this service following a recent bereavement. Due to misunderstanding, another relative made arrangements through an alternative funeral director. A Welch were very understanding and pleasant and did not make us feel in anyway uncomfortable re the mix up. My feeling is they would be a very supportive service.
★★★★★
I supported a friend when making the arrangements for a loved one’s funeral. Alan and the team at A Welch & Sons were exemplary in their service at all times. Kind and professional with no question was too small. I would recommend them at anyone.
