    I just wanted to thank you for making this whole process so easy. There was just the right amount of communication, at a time when there were so many phone calls and messages going backwards and forwards from friends and relatives. Nothing was too much bother for the team at Susan Whymark, with special mention to Joanne and Mandy for their kindness and sensitivity. The funeral went so smoothly and was a lovely send off for my dear Mum. I'd highly recommend their company to anyone who's looking for a fantastic service. Thank you again. x
