Difficult to write a review under such sad circumstances, however Sue and Dave were on hand at all times, and made the process of organising the funeral go as smoothly as it could.

Customer service at Thos. Furber & Co Ltd is impeccable. I could not have asked for a more professional, efficient, accessible and sympathetic team. I was supported through every step of the process, informed of all progress, and all services were coordinated seamlessly. The funeral ceremony itself ran extremely smoothly, and provided the beautiful, happy and dignified farewell my loved one deserved. I highly recommend this lovely team.
