Just to say thank you for all your help - on the evening dad peacefully slipped away, with all the funeral arrangements and on the day of the funeral itself. We have very much appreciated your care and kindness along with your practical help. We have also enjoyed your sense of humour... because dad also had a great sense of humour! Once again, many thanks for helping us to get everything just right for dad.
I would like to thank you for all the help and the tremendous support which you have given to me whilst arranging my late mother's funeral. You have been so accommodating in honouring all requests. Thank you for being so understanding in all respects and for the efficient and courteous manner in which you carried out all the arrangements. The duties of yourself and your 'team' were all fulfilled in such a dignified and respectful way and this is greatly appreciated.
My brother and I would like to thankyou for making this very sad event come to pass with no complications at all. From sorting out the wording in the Yorkshire Post, to organising all other pertaining details. With everything else that needed attending to, it was a huge relief not to worry about every detail on such an important day.
My family I would like to thank you most sincerely for the professional and compasionate way our mother's funeral was organised. With your assistance, all her wishes were fulfilled - she would have appreciated that. My brother and I, as executors, particularly appreciated your patience, attention to detail and guidance during those early difficult days.
I would like to thank you and your family for the kind and professional way you conducted my mother's funeral. It was nice to be able to sit back and leave all the arrangements, from the order of service, collection of flowers, cars and the reverent way you and your staff carried out the task so professionally in the church and church yard.
