Was there a will?

"You helped us successfully navigate one of the saddest times in our lives. Ian was kind, empathetic, respectful and caring. The whole team were fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble."
— Sue Talbot (about Ian)
"I would like to thank Ammie for all the help and support she gave me during this very difficult time, and the respect and dignity she gave my husband Gary. She is a very valued member of the team."
— Maria Cornfield (about Ammie)
"Tim, the funeral director, was wonderful at a very difficult time. He was patient, kind and reassuring and I completely trusted him. The service he helped us put together was exactly as we hoped and was a truly fitting tribute to our dad."
— Helen (about Tim)
"Although his wishes were not traditional you supported us to make it happen. With your help we created the perfect send off which will be remembered by all who attended. A true celebration of his life. Not somber — which he would have hated. Dad unconventional to his last event changed the norms. You guys made that happen for him."
— Christine Borlet (about Carlo Capaldi)
"Carlo replied promptly to emails with gentle reassurance which was most helpful when everything needs sorting in such a short space of time and while you're grieving and shaky and can't think straight. A steadying support when we needed it most. Quietly pulling together all the threads."
— Carole Thurrell (about Carlo)
"I am absolutely in pieces losing my gorgeous son as you can imagine and you came and sorted everything from start to finish and with so much love and kindness. Then on the day I can honestly say you did me and my son proud and you provided a more than excellent and more than perfect service."
— Vicky Mccluskey (about Carlo)
