★★★★★ We cannot fault AE Thurlow & sons.What lovely ,friendly and helpful staff not only in the office but the pallbearers and all staff involved in the funeral.One member even took photos of the coffin for me and was also the same person who came to collect my late father in law.They were well presented and extremely respectful.I would not hesitate to recommend. I did also send a personal email thanking them for all their help.(It was Great to meet the trainee too !)
★★★★★ It is daunting to face arranging a funeral at a very sad time, but Ros and the team at A E Thurlow & Son Funeral Service were so kind and helpful that all went smoothly. Thank you for ensuring such a dignified goodbye.
★★★★★ Highly recomended. Very professional and caring. Jon was so helpful and compassionate from the first phone call to the day of the funeral, looking after all our requirements. Ros dealt with the admin and produced a beautiful Order of Service which we will treasure. Thank you to all at A E Thurlow & Son.
★★★★★ Both Fran and Jon were brilliant from our first meeting to the day of our mother's funeral. They could not have been anymore considerate and caring towards our family. They did everything and more that they said they would do . Thank you very much indeed, absolutely first class service and care.
★★★★★ I cannot praise them enough for how they organised my father's funeral and provided support to me and my mother. They were professional and compassionate throughout the whole process and helped me and my mother so much to get through it.
