What Our Families Say About Us

From the very beginning we were looked after with so much kindness, care, and compassion.

At the absolute worst time of our lives, they somehow made everything feel that little bit easier and took so much of the worry away from us.

Denise was just incredible.

She was so warm, patient, reassuring and genuinely caring, I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her throughout the whole process.

Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.

The care and respect shown to all of us as a family meant more than I can say.

The funeral itself was perfect; everything was handled so beautifully and exactly how we wanted it, which meant we didn’t have to worry about everything going on behind the scenes.

Its strange because these are people you meet in circumstances you would give everything not to be in, and people you hope you never have to meet, but I will always be so grateful that Denise was the person who was there to guide us through it.

Thank you so much for everything you did for us – we will never forget it ❤

C.H. September 2026

We would just like to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the superb level of care and kindness you have shown our family during this period. You far exceeded our expectations and have gone above and beyond for us. Nothing has been too much trouble which helped ease us through this distressing time. In addition to your professional service, your personal touch has given us great comfort. We cannot thank you enough.

K. N. M. & L. Bude and Stratton - November 2019

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to you and your team for the wonderful, seamless funeral service you have provided for us. Today was always going to be a difficult day, and emotionally it was, however knowing that you had effortlessly organised all we had wished for to provide a fitting send off for my darling mother, made the day so much easier. I have received a number of comments today expressing how well organised the celebration of my mother’s life was, and therefore wanted to pass on these comments. Thank you again for providing an amazing service.

H. M AND FAMILY WEEK ST MARY - JANUARY 2025

I would like to send a sincere and heartfelt thank you for your incredible service and support following the passing of my mum. From start to finish, your care and professionalism was impeccable. My mum being such a strong independent lady would have appreciated greatly seeing a lady at the helm of her service and in Cornish colours too. As her daughter, I felt similarly inspired by this, and our walk together down our village lane in front of the hearse was something I will never forget, nor will the whole service be forgotten which you helped us bring to life so beautifully despite our complex requests with services both in Devon and Cornwall. Thank you, Denise and your whole team, for the wonderful work you do, that makes such dark times in people’s lives that bit easier to hold in good grace.
