"Paul & Kirsty were so understanding, they took the time to listen to our wishes and supported us through all the funeral arrangements. The support from all the team helped us at a very sad time."
— Recollect Dolls hospital (about Kirsty)
"Kirsty and Paul were brilliant all the way through planning my mum's funeral. They were very understanding and took the time to talk me through everything throughout the whole process. They were welcoming and really helpful at every stage."
— Gilly Weir (about Kirsty)
"It was the first time for me arranging a funeral and no matter how many questions I had Paul was very patient and kept me informed of everything all the way through. My mum is so grateful that although it's been a traumatic time they were able to take the worry of all the arrangements which helped enormously."
— Jo (about Paul)
"I really felt my dear Mum was in safe hands. They found me the most wonderful celebrant, Hannah Osmond. The day went without a hitch and I really felt that Paul's whole team cared."
— Devereux Souter (about Paul)
"Dad died 17 years before Mum and we had had such wonderful care from Paul that I made a point of finding him again — even though he had left his previous company and set up his own! His attention to detail means that everything runs so smoothly in the run up to the funeral and on the day."
— Lucy Paisley (about Paul)
"Paul and his team looked after my father's funeral back in 2014 with such care and compassion. Then, a few weeks ago, Mum's time sadly came. I called Paul late one evening, and despite being outside his usual area, he didn't hesitate. He came himself, along with a member of his team, and took care of Mum with the same quiet dignity and professionalism we remembered. You made an incredibly tough time that little bit easier — and we are truly grateful."
— Peter Ray (about Paul)
