"Her knowledge and her professionalism was exceptional — they even managed to arrange a professional recording of the service for friends and family that were unable to attend."
— Alan Gillett (about Jade)
"Thank you for making Ray's day so special, you went the extra mile for us all. Nothing was too much trouble and you were all very kind and sympathetic to our needs, and although a very sad day, it was also a lovely day to remember."
— P L Mulligan (The Cain Family)
"The staff are incredibly friendly and respectful - but in a very humane way; not distant or aloof, which is what I worried about. It is a family business and that attitude carries through. The pride they put into their work is very apparent."
— Justin Dowling
"Julie went above and beyond to help me choose a headstone — she helped me with all my endless questions and queries as I wanted it on for the first anniversary. She is a credit to the Mulligan's incredible team."
— Wendy Bagg (about Julie)
"We cannot thank Julie and the team enough for helping us give Malcolm the perfect send-off. It was clear that they genuinely care about what they do and truly look after both you and your loved one with compassion and respect. Thank you for making such a difficult day more bearable — it really was a perfect farewell."
— Michelle Fletcher (about Julie)
"I first spoke to you just 30 minutes after my mother died and can't thank you enough for the kindness and guidance I received from you with such sensitivity. The respect shown when the staff from Mulligans came to take my mother into your care was truly comforting. At no time were we left wondering what to do next because you and your colleagues had it covered. A very traumatic time had been eased by the professionalism of you and your colleagues."
