Edward and his team couldn’t do enough when arranging my dad’s funeral all the help and support they gave us was 1st class and a massive thank you even after the funeral. If you want a celebrant then Mr Phil Johnson is personally the best ever not only for officiating the funeral but captured my dad more than i could of ever of wished including what i would call my dad getting the last word when Phil was talking towards the end. I think of Edward and his team and Mr Phil Johnson as family for everything. THANK YOU ALL!!!!! read less

The funeral of my mother The loss of a dear loved one is very painful and overwhelming, but Edward and his team make a very difficult occasion more bearable.

His compassion and total professionalism are qualities sadly lacking today, but all the arrangements were carried out with such sensitivity and dignity.

I can’t thank these guys enough for the wonderful work the did arranging my fathers funeral. Adrian was an absolute gem and would recommend them to anyone (I’ve already done this several times). What a lovely experience compared to other companies previously. Nothing was too much bother for them!

Wonderfully kind and caring people, who are passionate about ensuring every aspect of their service is excellent. Would highly recommend.

First class service. Staff were so caring and helpful. I never felt rushed and the support offered to myself and my family was perfect. Thank you Edward and staff

I have received so many phone calls asking for details of the service you provide which in itself speaks volumes.
Never underestimate the roles you play during times of bereavement and we will forever be grateful. read less

Losing my mother was very painful and making arrangements is something I was dreading.Edward made it as painless as possible cannot thank him enough for his compassion and help.Edward and his staff are amazing cannot praise them enough.Janet williams .

so easy and find and use.

Professional service with a personal touch Edward is the consummate professional, with that caring element which makes the arrangements and the day itself so much easier to deal with. The staff have also been brilliant especially during this difficult pandemic time. Cannot fault the whole service given. We would use no other company.

Long time coming review … Edward and team dealt with myself and family when my father passed 3 years ago April.
It was during Covid under the most difficult heartbreaking circumstances .
Nothing was to much trouble , Edward was totally professional, with so much decorum and available when we needed them at all times… read moreEdward and team dealt with myself and family when my father passed 3 years ago April.
