"We as a family had an excellent experience with James Ashton & Edward McHugh — they were very supportive and gave us good guidance and support which gave my dad the good send off he deserved. Flowers were beautiful, all music and tributes were spot on, and Alan Morgan was excellent with lots of positive comments from friends and family who attended."

I would highly recommend this firm. Everything was handled professionally and sensitively. Chris's guidance was invaluable in helping my novice self organise my mum's funeral. My parents had taken out a funeral plan which I would also recommend as many decisions had already been taken in advance.
