"From start to finish Sam was friendly while remaining professional and respectful. We were kept informed throughout and nothing was too much trouble."
— Jo Hedges (about Sam)
"Nothing was too much trouble which we both appreciated at such a very sad time. She made sure every detail was taken care of. Everything on the day was perfect, a beautiful send off to a wonderful mum."
— Angela Banyard (about Sam)
"Sam went above and beyond to make a tough time just that little bit easier. Would always recommend her."
— Sheryl Davey (about Sam)
"I can not express how Sarah Quinton and the Co-operative team were caring and considerate. Nothing was too much, and the care they showed was above and beyond. My kind words are not enough to say thank you at this most difficult time."
— Colette Dale (about Sarah Quinton)
"Every step of the journey in arranging my Mother's funeral was perfect. Sarah was warm, kind and supported us with patience and understanding. Everything you need from a Funeral Co-ordinator - personable, warm and professional."
— Jane Wadman (Wane J) (about Sarah)
"Those respectful but important touches like bowing his head toward the hearse and slowing to do the pace as the cortege passed my Mother's home made us feel very proud. If people are matched to a career, Tina was born to be a celebrant. What a beautiful soul."
— Jane Wadman (Wane J) (about Luke / Tina Hayward)
