— Phil Rayner (about Linsie)
"Sadly, this was the 4th funeral I have had to arrange. However, it was the most friendly and least stressful. I never felt as if anything was a problem. There was no hard sell, pressure, or time frame. I really could not fault the help, attention or the funeral itself."
— Ruth Talbot (about Linsie)
"I knew they would care for my husband and he was in safe hands. They were a great comfort to me at all times. Linsie helped and guided me through all I had to do. A very thoughtful and caring team."
— Sylvia Pearce (about Linsie)
"Linsie even went out of her way to deliver my fathers ashes to my elderly mother. The stress was taken out from the beginning of the process right through to the day. Both ladies were lovely and helpful, couldn't do enough for us."

I recently used JH Way, Dawlish for my friends funeral and from the first contact with Linsie she was welcoming, warm and professional. Linsie made the whole difficult process so much easier, she was both comforting and caring. I would not hesitate in recommending using JH Way, Dawlish with Linsie's personal touch easing what was a very difficult time.

They offered excellent service regarding the organisation of the funeral and for the actual event. We were very happy with Linsie at JH Way who was both professional and empathetic. The celebrant who was recommended, Michelle, also did an excellent job.

Linsie offers a very professional service, with the personal touch. Linsie has held our hand through the process, nothing has been to much. On the day of the funeral she lead the funeral procession, she and her team were very respectful and helpful. Linsie's attention to detail is outstanding.
