In addition to their efficiency and professionalism, the kindness, empathy and love shown to me by Joyce and Janet during the process of organising my wife's funeral was exceptional and very much appreciated. Certainly, their care helped me manage my personal grief from the sad loss of my wife.

Chose the Heart of England for my father’s funeral and they were brilliant from start to finish. They handled everything with care and professionalism and gave dad the best send off we could have asked for. Thank you to all involved.

Everything was well looked after from start to finish and everyone on the day of the funeral said what a nice service it was. I have one comment about the registration plates of the vehicles. Whilst I understand it is the abbreviation of Heart of England, "HOE" has connotations in modern vernacular and it was a bit jarring seeing my mum's coffin in a car carrying such a plate. It wasn't just me that noted this either so I'd imagine many people feel the same way these days. I can't fault anything else and Janet especially was excellent in organising everything. The director (Georgie I think but might be mistake) was also brilliant.
