    Found the staff very kind and helpful. Listened to my wishes and made sure that I had help with the details. I didn't feel rushed more a warm hug at a very difficult time. The organisation was second to none.
    Response from the owner:Dear Trish, Thank you for your thoughtful words and 5 star review. We are truly honoured to have been there for you during such a difficult time. Providing kindness, support, and careful attention to every detail is at the heart of what we do, and it means so much to know that you felt comforted.

    Linda Bevin Y.
    Very disappointed. Basic errors made - wrong date of death on coffin, wrong cause of death information given to coroner, wrong information given about availability of documentation. Despite multiple requests for a non religious funeral, a christian cross was left in the crematorium. I cannot recommend this organisation at all. Made a very stressful time even worse.

    Dear Tracey

    I think it takes a special person who was able when you met the three of us for the first time we probably looked like rabbits in headlights (we were trying to process the sudden death of the mum and start to try to organise a funeral we luckily haven’t done before) to sit us down calmly sensitively and honestly starting to plan mum’s funeral and explaining the process even without a death certificate.

    The person that goes that extra mile by contacting the coroner’s office as we hadn’t heard from him if or not a postmortem had been done; even being on the phone to them for over 40 minutes on hold.

    Being flexible to see us when we were in West Wickham, and we popped in.

    Making sure we were okay, keeping us on track and reminding me for items I had forgot to give you, like the music for the crematorium.

    Finding the best version of one of the songs we forgot to put the artist we wanted to play at the crematorium.

    When there are so many different areas of the funeral we were organising and liaising with different people, having you arranging the funeral meant it was one less thing to worry about.

    Thank you again.

    Dear Adam

    Sorry for the delay in writing to you as you could imagine I took some time out with my wife Fi before we travelled back to France.

    Thank you for your professionalism, calmness, patience, problem solving on the day as well as during the telephone conversation the night before which helped to calm my nerves.

    Mum would have been happy and at piece that you were looking after her on her final journey. With the same professionalism as your dad did with my dad’s funeral in November 2018.

    Sorry again for not being able to take mum coffin into the church, I am recovering from a herniated disc in my lower back it just said no; luckily, I was able to do it at the crematorium. Can you thank the member of your team that was looking after me as we were going in.

    Thank you again
