We were pleased we were ready in advance to use Darren's firm with all the preparation for the funeral, thus giving us a head-start at a difficult time. Thank you, Jane and all your staff.

Darren offers that quality that is so rare these days, amongst the big companies, of providing a truly personal service. He helped and reassured us through the complexities of having my Father repatriated from abroad ... he is exactly what you need.

Vix Avery, October 2022
Darren was brilliant throughout the whole process. He helped arrange funerals for both of my grandparents when they sadly passed away just 6 months between one another.

Jill Waddington, August 2022

Every member of the family, those that attended and those that joined us by Webcast, were touched and impressed by the Ceremony.

Lucy Byng, October 2021
Our Mother's Funeral was handled to perfection by Darren and the Team, with the enormous experience of Richard Adlem MBE. Faultless, precise, calm and professional; no detail overlooked. It was all 'just right' for Mum.

Simon Hart, July 2022

Darren and his staff have been kindness itself to me, ensuring my husband was well cared-for. He gave me all the information I needed when there was no close family around and I needed guidance.
