The support I received from the staff at Burgess & Harper was exceptional. On the day of the funeral (2/11/21), the Funeral Directors and support staff were courteous, sympathetic to our wishes and very helpful. We have used Burgess & Harper previously and our experience was the same. We would highly recommend this company.When letting people know (such as the bank) I was using this Funeral Directors, it was commented to me that they were highly thought of due to their professionalism and are well known as an excellent Funeral service within the local community.
