"Peakes conduct their services to the highest professional manner while keeping every detail person centred. The support from Ann and her team throughout has been first class. Nothing is too much, from first contact to Funeral day and after."
— Diane Marrazza (about Ann)
"Ann was kind, empathetic, and above all... professional... every step of the way. From collecting him with such dignity and care... to conducting the funeral itself... everything was handled with integrity, grace, and attention to detail."
— T C (about Ann)
"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... Thank you to Anne and the whole team for your professionalism, kindness, care, and the lovely hugs."
— Sally Meek (about Anne)
"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 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 Anne)
"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. I could not recommend this place enough to help you and your loved ones through the worst time."
