    Absolutely fantastic. Right from the start Becky made us feel comfortable and her companion and kindness was amazing and very much appreciated. We really felt like she cared and she went above and beyond to ensure my dads funeral was exactly as we wanted, but more importantly carried out everything that he had requested. All the way through she was constantly checking in on us and making sure we were doing ok. Thank you Becky we actually felt like we were in the presence of a family friend every time we spoke with you, and we will be forever grateful for everything you did to give my dad the best possible send off.
