Just a note to thank you all for your care and attention with Dad’s funeral. You helped make a tough day much easier. Dad would have approved!

N.F Werrington

I, and the family and friends who were present, wish to thank you for the way you and your pallbearers conducted yourselves on the occasion of my mother’s funeral.  Your deportment was suitably dignified yet not excessively solemn.  There were lighter moments as you gave instructions to my brother and I, amateur pallbearers both, and after the ceremony.   The music was absolutely on cue – could not have been better.  The basket of rose petals was a thoughtful touch.  The all-wood coffin, including handles and plaque, and its simple arrangement of red roses was extremely attractive.

Thank you for your services throughout, from prompt collection of my mother to final burial.  It was a pleasure to deal with you, and I would not hesitate to recommend your firm of funeral directors.

Dear Harry and the team

Thank you so much for all the care, support and consideration you have shown us over this difficult period. You have made this so much easier to deal with.

Mum’s funeral went off without a hitch all down to your care. She would have been very happy on how the day went, even sending the rainbows to us.

L & S Launceston - September 2023

Wow, you have done it again!

Thank you so much for your help and support throughout the last few weeks, it was just amazing!

Your guidance, patience and professionalism are beyond words and we are all very appreciative.  Even when you are struggling to get hold of me on the telephone with deadlines looming, you manage to remain calm and patient, and for that I thank you.

Dad looked fantastic, the calm support and instructions given to the bearers to ensure they confidently carried out their role perfectly was faultless and the compassion shown to the whole family much appreciated.  You are an amazing team, please thank all those involved.
