Just a short note to thank Grace and her lovely staff for the kind, professional and curteous way they assisted with my father in laws funeral arrangements. Nothing was too much bother, they dealt with everything including the wake. Paying one bill was so much easier than worrying about numerous ones. Would thoroughly recommend.

In the midst of managing end of life care for our dad and then the inevitable goodbye over a weekend I was lost as to who to ask for help. Grace was with me immediately and arranged a very kind collection of my dad from his home. What was so lovely were the guys who arrived and when going into my dad’s room said “Hello Denis, we are here to take care of you”.. so very comforting for my Mum and I.Following this, nothing at all was beyond our wishes, Grace made it all happen as we wanted, down to a brand new hearse (a Jag no less, my dad’s favourite car!) to a very personal and private goodbye at the crematorium with the Last Post played as Grace’s team managed the process with incredible compassion and love.What was a very sad time was made so very comforting for me and my family and will forever be grateful to Grace and her team.

Grace and her team are just truly amazing.I was extremely pleased we chose to use Grace, its an extremely important decision to trust someone with your nearest and dearest at that time. From our first meeting I felt completely at ease with her handling everything for us, her compassion, empathy, dedication and professionalism is a true credit to herself and the business.I must also say Grace's recommendation of our celebrant Jennifer was perfect. Such a lovely lady.Thank you Grace

Grace has been absolutely amazing, so supportive providing such a good service to our family with arranging my Dads funeral during these incredibly difficult Covid-19 times. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who listens and genuinely cares about their wishes being met. Thank you so much Grace for all your support.
