What families say

"Ann was helpful, reassuring, comforting and very knowledgeable and professional and we can't thank her enough for everything she did for us and our dear friend."

— Emily Hopkinson (about Ann)

"From the moment that we contacted them following the passing of my mother, they handled everything with such dignity and respect. They discussed all our options and listened to our thoughts as to how we would like to deal with my mother's funeral. Nothing was too much trouble."

— Lara Sutton (about Ann)

"The funeral itself was a wonderful celebration of her life, carried out with great care and dignity. It left everyone feeling comforted, reflecting on the beautiful life she had lived and knowing she is now at peace. Thank you to Anne and the whole team for your professionalism, kindness, care, and the lovely hugs."

— Sally Meek (about Anne)

"From the very first phone call, following a stressful journey down to Cornwall after our sister's passing, Anne was a voice of reassurance, compassion, and professionalism. We also met Scott when we went to see our sister — he was incredibly caring and explained everything beforehand, which meant so much to us. It was actually a very uplifting experience — she looked beautiful."

— Sally Meek (about Anne, Scott)

"A particularly striking moment was Anne walking with the hearse in her top hat, heels, and impeccable funeral attire — such poise and respect made a lasting impression and perfectly reflected the care Peakes of Tolcarne bring to every service. I felt truly supported and listened to at every turn... the compassion shown made the process feel gentle and meaningful."

— T C (about Ann)

"She was the most lovely person to deal with at a terrible time. Our friend Garry arranged his own cremation with Ann while he was in hospice and he adored her immediately. He called her 'a gorgeous person' and he was right."

— Emily Hopkinson (about Ann)
