Testimonials

Our business has been built on a repuation of trust, dignity, professionalism. We take exceptional care of each and every family we work for and this is reflected in the kind words we receive from them. Please click the link below to view some of the letters we have received.
I wanted to say how absolutely wonderful you were at organising my mum's funeral on July 2nd. We could not have gone through it all without your calm, professional and experienced support. You were amazing leading up to the day as well as at the church and crematorium. You do such a wonderful job at a time when people are preoccupied with grief and unable to think straight. Thank you so very very much.
Thank you for all the help you gave to the family at the time of their bereavement and especially on the day of her funeral. When someone dies peacefully and painlessly at the age of 97 it is not really a sad occasion, but a time to celebrate a long life well lived. Nevertheless it is a confusing and uncertain time, especially with current restrictions. So to have you guide us through all of the necessary bureaucracy and to do it with compassion and professionalism was well appreciated by all the family. We shared the flowers and it has given us a lovely taste of spring in the house, and helped to bring back lots of memories of my mother's beautiful garden.
I am writing to thank you and your team very much for arranging my Aunt's funeral last week. It is daunting when you have never had to make arrangements like this before, but you personally made it very straightforward and easy for me. The family were very pleased with the service and the way it was managed and I am very grateful to you all. I felt that it was a celebration of her life and a lovely send off for her after a long and full life. Despite the pandemic it all went smoothly without any hitches.

Today marks Christmas Card Day!

As independent Funeral Directors we deeply value the relationships we've built with out community. Each December we reflect on how best to honour and support you during the festive season.

In recent years many have asked "do we still send Christmas card or do we donate to charity instead?". For us, its a blend of both. While we cherish the tradition of sending heartfelt cards, we've also made it our mission to support meaningful causes throughout the year.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives, and know that whether it's through a card of a charitable donation, we are always thinking of our community with care and compassion.

Hello December!

We'd like to take a moment to acknowledge both the beauty and the challenges that come with this time of year.

For many December is filled with cherished memories, joy and togetherness. But it can also bring a profound sense of loss and longing for those who are no longer with us.

Whether you're reflecting on happy memories or navigating a fresh grief, know that you are not alone. If you need a compassionate ear, we're here to listen and support you however we can.

Let's cherish the moments of joy, hold space for remembrance and enter this month with understanding and warmth for one another.

Today we pause to remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. The poppy, with its vibrant red petals is a powerful symbol of remembrance and resilience, inspired by the fields of Flanders where poppies grew amid the devastation of war.

We understand the importance of honouring memories and legacies. Today we stand with communities across the country in reflection and gratitude for those who gave everything in service. Let us wear our poppies proudly as a reminder of the courage and sacrifice that built the world we live in today.

Lest we forget!
