We were looked after admirably from our first contact with James , funeral director from Unthank Road Norwich.My daughter and I were helped and consulted regularly the whole way through from my brothers death to the actual cremation. I am elderly so all electronic dealings were done with my daughter very successfully. I am very satisfied.

    Funeral director James Myers and his team at Peter Taylor Funeralcare, Unthank Road, Norwich dealt with my wife's burial most efficiently and with compassion throughout. The professionalism of all his staff made what could have been a very difficult day much more bearable. An added bonus was the excellent tribute page they helped me set up, which attracted many comments, photographs and donations in excess of £3000 for my late wife's favourite charities. Thank you so much, and well done all round.
