Huge thank you to Pam and team for their service from initial enquiry to my uncles funeral day and beyond. We had the added issue of being based in London and trying to arrange a funeral in Leicester- we didn't know the area or local shops/ flowers etc. Pam took her time to talk through everything with me. Also with emotions so high already, it just made it easier having someone who understood Sikh funeral processes. Thank you Pam and team.

A huge thank you to Nas and Pam at the Asian Funeral Company. It's never an easy time when a loved one passes away but Nas and Pam were caring and showed great empathy and respect. After my first call I arranged a visit to see Nas at the office. The whole process was explained to me and the costs. There was no push to purchase any additional items and I felt completely at ease and confident that my father would be well looked after while in their care. Nas even came to our house to check there would be no logistical problems on the day of the service. You can also arrange to see your loved one the day before the service at the chapel of rest which is very peaceful. I spoke to Pam several times on the phone and visited her at the office and she was always kind and accommodating. Everything went very well on the day and I can hand on heart say I would highly recommend them. They are not the cheapest Funeral director in town but having that peace of mind that your loved one will be well cared for and everything will go smoothly is well worth the extra cost in my opinion. I would highly recommend the Asian Funeral Company.
