"They treated Bernie with the utmost respect, listening to her individual wishes and working with us as a family, to plan a beautiful and unique service and burial. Both Enda and Tom were compassionate and understood Bernie's illness and death on each of us. They paced any necessary interventions so we had time to think about the different decisions we had to make. Their professional approach helped us as a family cope with Bernie's death, the wake and the funeral. We are eternally grateful."
