 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Roy and his son Stephen who helped us through the loss of our Mum.
Roy guided us through the whole journey with such expertise and the utmost respect. Nothing was too much trouble.
He is genuinely a nice guy who will do anything to help and guide you.
No hard/up selling whatsoever, his only concern was to make things as easy and
as smooth as possible for all my family.
Really can not recommend highly enough.
Thanks for all your help in our darkest time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would like to say thank you to yourself and all your staff for your kindness, care and compassion at such a sad time. Even in the present difficult circumstances, with your help we were still able to have a small but very personal tribute for our mam. Though the gathering was only small you made sure every detail was taken care of and carried out as we had asked. Thank you for the DVD of the photographs, with that and the memorial file of the readings, we now have lovely memories to cherish. Once again thank you to everyone. Please stay well and safe in these uncertain times xx
