    Absolutely first class service from first contact to eventual funeral. The personal service given to myself and all the family was a great comfort to us all, knowing my wife was given the very best of care and attention whilst in their hands.
    Nothing was a problem for them in bringing all the arrangements together.
    Many thanks to Leigh and all the staff at Washington for the professionalism and compassion shown to us all at this difficult time.

  • 5 George Wildes 19th Feb 2024

    Having never planned a funeral before I had no idea what to expect.  From the lady on the first phone call who was so helpful to Leigh was so compassionate and reassuring from the start and throughout.  Her support, knowledge and excellent communication made the whole experience a smooth process as well as feeling totally individualised to our needs.  A huge thank you to Leigh and the team on the day of the funeral - my dad and I really appreciated it. Thanks. Michelle x

    David and his staff could not have made the planning and day of the funeral any easier. They sourced the music we wanted and everything was of particular relevance to us as a family. They kept us informed at each step of the planning, where kind and courteous. Everyone who attended said it was a a good send off and service for our 91 year old mother. I would highly recommend them.
