My mum had instructed us to use Blenkiron Funeral Services prior to her passing. From start to finish the support we received was exceptional. It helped so much to know that our dear mum was looked after with compassion and dignity. All the members of the team that we met, were genuinely kind and went out of their ways to answer all our queries and concerns. Thank you to Michelle Kirk such a wonderful caring and professional person, who made the saddest of experiences so much more tolerable.
