Were there savings, investments, or other assets?

— Jennifer Pollard (about Stephanie)
"They help and support you through what is a very difficult time... emotional and practical support to myself as I arranged my first family funeral on behalf of my dad. Joyce would have been overjoyed at the service we received."
— Tom Harrison
"Steph, Elaine and Jeanine REALLY care about the work that they do, and when I go and speak to families they have often already spoken to one of them, and without fail they will say how lovely they have been."
— Jill (about Steph, Elaine, Jeanine)
"They really took the time to listen to us and find out about the truly special person my dad was and helped us to create a special tribute to him. We are especially grateful for the care and attention Sarah gave my mum on the day of the funeral."
— Nick Allen (about Sarah)
"At no point was he referred to as 'the deceased', his name was used... he was still our person and was treated as such. Matthew, Stephanie, Sarah, Neil and the team went above and beyond and although they must deal with countless families on a monthly basis, we felt like they were there for US."
— Marie Bailey (about Matthew, Stephanie, Sarah, Neil)
