"Robin did everything he could to ensure my aunt got the special funeral she deserved. He displayed empathy, courtesy and professionalism throughout, keeping in touch to keep us up to date. A credit to the profession and the company."
— Beverley Banyard (about Robin)
"Sarah, the lady arranging Mum's funeral was so kind, so caring and really went beyond her job role. The details Sarah put into making Mum's day special I will forever remember your kindness."
— Kelly Heffron (about Sarah)
"She took all the strain off of us so we had time to mourn. Dignity are so good we have now planned our own funerals with them."
— Ian Hammond (about Terri)
"Watching the ladies gently carry Mum from the funeral home and lovingly place her into the hearse was incredibly moving. We were especially touched when one of the Funeral Service Operatives respectfully stopped the traffic while Terri led the hearse from the funeral home, giving our family a beautiful and dignified moment together that we will always remember."
— Jackie White (about Terri)
"I made that one phone call and from that moment, I wasn't alone with this big heavy weight. Family to me is the most important and the team at Earl of Plymouth became my family with that one call. The care they gave Mum was above and beyond what anyone could ask for."
— Kelly Heffron (about Sarah)
"When we came to visit Mum, Terri gently escorted us to the room where she was resting. She asked us to wait outside for a moment while she quietly went in ahead of us. We then heard her softly say, 'Hello Daphne, we have your family here to see you.' It was such a simple yet incredibly respectful moment that will stay with us forever. We never felt rushed, only cared for."
— Jackie White (about Terri)
