I couldn’t thank them enough from the minute they received the phone call off my mam about my brother up until we laid him to rest yesterday they’ve been brilliant. They’ve been so sympathetic, supportive, understanding, showed empathy and guided us during this difficult time. Nicola was outstanding she gave a lot of support to both my mam and dad and a lot of effort went in from all staff yesterday to make sure everything was perfect for my brother. We really wouldn’t have been able to plan something as heartbreaking as this without Nicola and the team and I really do recommend their service.

Nicola helped guide us through the most difficult time of our lives after our son, Robin, was born sleeping. She was incredibly kind and patient with us during the whole process - we had (thankfully) never needed to plan a funeral before so really didn’t know what it entailed and she took us through everything step-by-step, at a pace we felt comfortable with and affirmed our decisions along the way. She communicated with us brilliantly throughout and was incredibly respectful and a real comfort to us during the funeral service. That level of support and compassion was an absolutely priceles

From the moment we contacted them after my dad passed away, Nichola and the whole team showed compassion, respect, and genuine humanity. They took the time to understand what we wanted for Dad and delivered everything beautifully. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they handled every detail with such dignity and respect. Their support meant the world to us, and we will forever be thankful for the way they helped us say goodbye and I can’t thank them enough for the support they gave our family.

Natalie handled our case with nothing but compassion, respect and kindness with our baby Teddys funeral. We genuinely wouldn’t of been able to cope as well if it wasn’t for Natalie helping us along the way and giving us the best opportunity of having such a beautiful send off on the 14th of April for our boy. We couldn’t thank/reccomend her enough we genuinely appreciate everything she has done for us. Thank you walked and Morell for looking after our son in your care and giving us the goodbye we deserved x

For ny Dads funeral we mainly dealt with Nicola who was amazing. Switched on, respectful, organised, compassionate. Skills which are hard to find in one person but she had them all. She also managed our very specific wishes with ease and attention to every detail. She was supported by Hayley who was also wonderful. The funeral was everything we needed to see dad off.
