As a family we would highly recommend Wallace Stuart. From the moment we contacted them they were empathetic, considerate, kind and excellent with communication. Everything was efficiently organised and we were kept informed every step of the way of options and costs. Thank you for looking after us all during a very traumatic time, for helping us find some peace, it helped knowing that Andy was receiving the best care and funeral service and that anything we asked you was never too much trouble.

Brilliant service under difficult circumstances. So friendly, helpful, proactive and flexible. Nothing was too much trouble and it was comforting having a friendly voice on the other end of the phone and caring emails. Very professional.

I love Sarah and Lel's funeral Co. It doesn't feel like a company at all just 2 very warmhearted ladies serving families at a very stressful time. Their calm and understanding presence is very healing and takes a lot of the fear out of the process. They both clearly love people (living or deceased!) and this shines through everything they do for you.

Having never organised a funeral before, I wanted my Mother's "celebration of her life" to be a very special occasion. Lel guided me through everything; she was calm, professional, very respectful and offered me (and our family members) a great deal of support at a very difficult time - nothing was too much trouble. Lel also produced a beautiful Order of Service. I would recommend Wallace Stuart Lady Funeral Directors unreservedly. Thank you so much.

We had a deeply traumatic bereavement with lots of family turmoil. We found the eventual funeral arranged at very short notice went so smoothly and gracefully. I was very impressed with the service we received
