Report
It is perhaps an unusual thing to rate a funeral service but i wanted to take the trouble to do so here. From the moment I walked into the small office I was made welcome by Sue on reception in a polite, sensitive but highly professional manner and without being too over the top. The balance for me was perfect. I was walked through all i needed to do and to be honest they sorted pretty much everything. On the day I met the owner Robert who was a total gent! The service was perfect and my father laid to rest as he should be. Definitely a 5 star service at a fair price. THANK YOU ALL!!!
