"Have used TS Horlock for our family funerals over many years and have always found the service to be extremely compassionate and the staff extremely accommodating."
— Handsome As Hoggle (about Ross)
"He was kind and gave us time to discuss decisions amongst ourselves. There was no pressure to add anything we did not want. We trusted him to choose our celebrant and he chose Maria Williams. She was wonderful and we were so happy with the eulogy she gave for mum."
— Debra Glanfield (about Ross)
"Ross, Matthew and the team were very helpful and compassionate and made organising the funeral for my aunt that little bit easier despite it having to be arranged over a distance via phone calls and emails as I'm based in Cornwall. The day of the funeral went off beautifully, and was a lovely final send off for my dear Aunt."
— neil levy (about Ross)
"They have conducted the funerals of three of my family members and nothing is too much trouble. There is absolutely no other company I would ever use. Thank you to all the staff once again for your kindness."
— trudie stone
"Recently we needed to get a new plaque for her cross as it was weathered and the lovely new owner Mel not only gave me a new plaque she also had it mounted on a brand new cross. Thank you it was beautiful."
— Sophie Gibbs (about Mel)
"Matthew was in contact a couple of times before the service to ask if we were ok and to double check the arrangements were all correct. On the day he and his team carried out their duties with dignity, compassion and respect for us and our mum. We was also given a memory box with our order of service, forget me not seeds, our flower cards and space to add our own items and mums photo in a frame. It was a lovely surprise and will be treasured."
— Debra Glanfield (about Matthew)
