Absolutely amazing service from start to finish. Everything went really smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble. From Pippa in the office to the men who came with the Hearse, they were all great. We felt they dealt with us with dignity and compassion, at this incredibly sad time for us.

Every step of organising our mothers funeral was done with such sensitivity and consideration by Pippa at Ballard and Shortall in Forest Row. The understanding and compassion at such a time of grief, was deeply felt. We are truly grateful.
