"From the moment we walked in the office and met Linette, to the day of the funeral when Steve and his team arrived, everything was just superb. They could not have done any more to make the day perfect."
— Brian Yeomans (about Lynette)
"From the moment we first visited J&S Funeral Service to the day of the funeral we were treated with the utmost respect and sympathy. Lynette especially made a sad day as bearable as was possible."
— Jeffrey Brackley (about Lynette)
"A massive thank you to J&S for the care, compassion and total professionalism they showed us when we had to negotiate the sadness and sorrow of arranging our lovely mums funeral. Lynette was so helpful and understanding about our wishes and many of our guests commented on the special attention to detail that ensured the day flowed smoothly and beautifully."
— Karen Pischedda (about Lynette)
"Such circumstances are emotionally raw for everyone impacted and from first meeting with Lynette at J&S they took us through the journey ahead with empathy and compassion whilst providing a complete service. Given the sadness of the whole situation J&S and Bernadette made it the best possible outcome, truly thank you!"
— Wes Britnell (about Lynette)
"At the worst time of your life these guys are professional, compassionate and show unwavering kindness and understanding. They truly are a special team, thank you all for giving my special mother in law the send off she deserved. Everything was perfect."
— Suzanne Hansard (about Lynette)
"Lynette and her team were absolutely brilliant from start to finish with my daughter's funeral. This was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do but Lynette made the whole planning process so much more bearable. Lynette was accommodating of all my requests and even found a way for bagpipes to be played whilst also having a horse drawn hearse. I cannot thank you guys enough for everything, you helped us give Chloe a very special, and beautiful goodbye."
— Fallen Angel Body Piercing (about Lynette)
