— C Foster
"At a very distressing time, they did everything to make it the best experience possible. They picked up the body from the hospital, showed me the coffin, explained what was going to happen and brought the ashes to me."
— Susan Scammell

"My late dad was a massive snooker fan and we asked if we could have a snooker table engraved on his name plate — they arranged it. They also suggested we bring his snooker cue to lay on his coffin, which we never thought of. Sharon sorted out every problem with our fingerprint pendant and even arranged for it to be delivered to our house when I was in hospital. They went out of their way at every single step."
— Paula Morton (about Sharon)
