After losing mum in 2016, we sadly lost dad as well in May this year. Mum was looked after so tenderly by James & Thomas so leaving dad in their caring hands was the obvious choice. Liz at the Cobham branch was nothing short of an angel to my sister and I. She was compassionate and considerate and guided us so personally through the whole process all the way to the crematorium where she attended and looked after the whole family so sensitively and with such dignity and respect for dad. We honestly could not have wished for a lovelier team of people to help us through such a sad time. So many thanks for everything.

We chose Liz and her team to deal with my step mums funeral, as she had also dealt with my fathers, years before. Liz couldn't have been more helpful and made everything as stress free as possible. I would definitely recommend Liz and her team. Thank you

The care and service we have received from Liz Bayliss at James & Thomas was exceptional. Compassionate, caring and efficient she was ever present to advise me and my family at every stage of an intensely emotional experience.

Well, what can I say, Liz at James and Thomas was amazing. From the moment we walked into the office she put my husband and I at ease, guiding us through the whole funeral process and making a difficult and emotional time totally stress free for us. Liz was at the end of the phone to answer any queries that we raised and dealt with everything professionally. Liz even had flowers made in the shape of a cat for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to use James and Thomas again. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you.
