    Abbey Funeralcare were excellent from start to finish. Alison and Pamela were so kind and understanding, they made every step easy and as pain free as possible. Everything was organised to a very high standard and everything went beautifully and smoothly on the day. They made a very difficult and sad time bearable for all.
    I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

  • 4 Elizabeth Smith 15th Nov 2022

    In general the whole service was great and I believe my mum was in very good care.
    The ladies in the office are very friendly and reassuring at such a difficult times. Due to staff sickness however I was not informed of when my mum was in your care. I had to ring. The lady who was covering the phones for a number of branches was not going to up date me and asked to ring back on Monday. I did insist however I'd like to know were my mum was at that current time and the lasy was very helpful and updated me.
    Staff sickness cannot be helped.
    The order of service was forgotten on the day. An apology was made and the staff rectified the situation.
    Maybe a bit more instructions to the barers would be more helpful. The barers said that the instructions were very brief. As a result they nearly dropped my mum. Which was a little upsetting at the time.
    Even with the minor hiccups the service went well.
