"They guided us sympathetically throughout the process with something we have never had to deal with before. Nothing was too much trouble and even the Order of Service Programmes were printed with such care, assisting us with the layout and photographs."
— Sheelagh Hiscock
"At the worst possible time, it was nice to know that our father was being looked after with the dignity and respect that he deserved."
— Martin Cleaver (about Paula)
"At the last minute, she also stepped in as a lay celebrant at my daughter's Service at The Crematorium — guiding the mourners throughout. She did this beautifully."
— Linda (about Alexandra)
"They delivered us the calm, respectful and beautiful farewell that our father deserved and we all hoped for."
— Gareth Lloyd-Evans (about Allie)
"The fact that Winchcombe & Sons is a family business really shone through — they really care and operate with the ethos of what they would want if it was their own loved one that they were caring for."
— Joss Mathieson (about Paula)
"Alexandra came to Dorothy House Hospice at Helen's request and Helen was able to choose exactly how she wanted her Cremation Service to be. They went well above and beyond what could have been expected at a time when we were shocked, exhausted and very bereaved. They really wanted to make the experience more bearable for us and I cannot thank them enough for that."
— Linda (about Alexandra)
