Ascension & Cliff Small funerals did an amazing job of my mother in laws funeral, no pressure, all the time in the world for us regardless of how many times family wanted to attend the chapel of rest. The biggest thing was that Rob, and family actually cared and felt like part of our family, very caring and empathetic. The whole process was stress free thanks to Rob and his family going the extra mile and exceeding any expectations we had for mum. The chapel of rest was modern, spotless and vehicles were pristine. The Service was fantastic and catered for the multiple faiths in attendance.

Ascensions have looked after several of my family members funerals and have exceeded my expectations on every part . They are very attentive , understanding and professional and nothing is too much of a task for the Caunce family and staff . They are very helpful in one of the most difficult times , and I would recommend them highly if you are looking for a small family run business that put their customs above everything.

The staff involved with Ascension Funerals + Memorials in Garstng are exceptional. My father died recently and they provided very professional yet caring support and advice prior to, during and after my father's cremation. We could not have asked for anything more. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in similar circumstances. They helped us to approach the cremation in as positive a way as possible. I cannot fault this firm in any way whatsoever. Thank you Ascension Funerals x.
