My Uncle Jack died age 86 on 01/08/2017 in Sunderland Hospital having spent his last days in Alexander View Care home in Southwick not a stones throw of the place he was born 76 Edward Burdis Street, so I thought it fitting his funeral arrangements should be handled by a local funeral director. So I contacted Tony Clarke who made the whole experience a celebration of my late uncle's life in a way that even today puts a smile on my face. Tony arranged for a humanist service which was conducted by female at Sunderland crematorium with humour and empathy in front of the assembly of us 8 mourners. Tony made the whole event so special by arranging to have my uncles trumpet placed on his coffin instead of flowers, and to top things off arranged to have my uncle's favourite Puccini aria as his intro music and an lost composition played by Jacks hero a Jazz trumpeter called Harry James as his final curtain call So thank you Tony for everything you did to make my last memory of my uncle Jacks time on earth the best it could possibly be.

I want to thank Tony Clarke Funeral Directors at Southwick for the way they cared for my husband's funeral. At a very difficult time, Tony and Christine guided me step by step with patience and kindness and nothing was ever too much trouble. The service itself was dignified and respectful , Joanne minister support gave me peace of mind that what i wanted to say for my husband service was all done. Tony's care meant to me great comfort knowing my love was in trusted hands. The costs were fair and clearly explained, and I felt the service was excellent value for the level of care and support we received. I would not hesitate to recommend the Tony Clarke Funeral Service.
