From start to finish, Hayley, John and family were super! They made us feel like family, and looked after Dad so well. Knowing we were in the best hands gave us great comfort.

I would like to send our thanks and love to the Smith family. My wife, Cheryl, and brother-in-law, Duncan, lost their mother and father in 5 months of eachother. Duncan used the Smith’s services for both funerals and nothing was too much trouble for Hayley and her team.
