Organising a funeral?
• Take your time – unless it’s for religious reasons, there is usually no rush.
• Take charge, or get a friend to help you who may be less emotionally involved.
• Focus on the funeral – it’s about what is said and done, not how much you spend.
• When it’s over, you want to look back forever with pride. As a family run company, Averil, Tim, Jacky, Wendy, Aaron and Dan will be involved in every aspect of the funeral from start to finish. We have time to listen, time to discuss. Our sole responsibility is with the families we care for.

Words cannot express our heartfelt thanks to you all. You offered great comfort and kindness and of course great professionalism at such a sad time in our lives.
-Angela, Diane, Paul and all our family
We would like to thank you most sincerely for the professional and compassionate service that you provided in arranging Lena’s funeral. She had a very good “send off”.The effort of your family and staff are also much appreciated. Please convey our thank to them too.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for the total professionalism that you and your business have provided to my family and I over the recent weeks since our mothers’ death. You have behaved with care and dignity throughout, qualities which are rare these days. I am very grateful for your guidance and support through what was a totally unknown process and procedure. The service, burial and everything associated with them are exactly what we, and my mother would have, wanted. Once again, my huge gratitude. Very best regards

We just wanted to say thank you so, so much for all the kindness and support you gave to all of us again when we lost Dad. Right from the start when the ‘boys’ collected him and all through the arrangements you have shown great humanity and care at such a difficult time. It meant a great deal! Once again thank you so much. Fondest regards.
Chris, Jim, Alex and Ben (Tebbutt)
We are here for you 24 hours a day so please don’t hesitate to call us when you need us.
