To Barrett and Son
We would like to thankyou for the lovely and caring funeral service you provided in memory of my Nana. A huge thanks to Jimmy on the day. what a lovely and respectful man who showed us support on a very difficult day. Steven, also for keeping us informed at all times and for your very caring manners when helping us decide what we needed and wanted. And lastly but not least, the receptionist (Sharon) for supporting me when i decided to visit my Nana in the chapel. This was so hard for me ans Sharon supported me every step when I broke down. I must also mention the wonderful job you did on making my Nana look at peace. She got all of her rosy colour back, just how I remember her. Should I ever, god forbid, experience this in the future I will 100% recommend you as the most reliable, caring and lovely funeral providers.

When my Husband passed away I was near devastation and not coping well. I was unable to see a way forward or that I could even participate in his funeral service. However due solely to your professional and extremely caring attitude, in which every detail was taken care of according to our wishes, I did participate in the service. I would like to send you heart felt thanks and best wishes from myself and Bill's family for every detail that you did for us.
Thank you for making it bearable
