What Families Say
Testimonials
"Andrew helped so much when my sister only 65 passed away - she wanted a direct cremation and he was absolutely brilliant in arranging everything. He told us the day and time so we could take the time to play her choice of music and have a quiet moment remembering what a beautiful little sister she was. The comfort that Andrew showed to us was amazing - I would definitely recommend this very personal Funeral Directors" .BH
"After my husband died I didnt know what to do but from the moment I phoned Andrew I knew I had made the right choice. He guided me through such a difficult time with kindness and warmth and nothing was too much trouble. He is genuinely the nicest person i have ever met. I would recommend him 1000% to anyone. Thank you so much." HE.
"Wonderful person I would just like to say that Andrew was the funeral director I used for both of my parents, my mum in 1997 and dad 2014 so the time between them both shows how highly I regarded him. I can honestly say he was the most professional caring person I have ever met and I would like to wish him all the best" AW
