“I treat everyone that comes into our care as though they are one of my own family members. When meeting a client family, I like to get to know about them first, so together we can plan a personalised farewell that will encompass everyone’s wishes. I believe it is important to honour and celebrate each individual.”

It was such an emotional time for us but your professionalism and compassion helped enormously.
I haven’t been through this process before but it wasn’t upsetting as both Julie and Jo gave us such support and nothing was too much trouble.
I would definitely recommend you after our experience.
“The team, especially Asha and Tom, are wonderful people to work with. They provided professional, compassionate guidance through the funeral planning process, and my dad’s service was exactly how we envisioned
“Not only were you all very patient but showed compassion in this difficult time. Tom we thank you and all your wonderful staff. The women looked so beautiful on the day and we were all touched at how everything fell into place. We think Dad would have been honoured.“
