"Tansy was friendly and warm, understanding the difficult task I had to do. Her advice was kindly given and she went out of her way to make things easier for me. All my wishes were accommodated and the celebrant was carefully chosen and understood and respected all my requirements."
— Doina Colf (about Tansy)
"Their attention to detail was amazing and the respect they showed Mum on her journey to the Crematorium was touching. Not only did they take care of the funeral arrangements they also guided us through the official process of registering the death. We cannot thank them enough."
— Carol Cullis (about Tansy)
"We could not have found a more sympathetic and genuinely caring person in Tansy to help us with the arrangements for my mother's funeral and the subsequent interment for her back with my father in Birmingham. The service which she and her team provided was excellent."
— Martin Wye (about Tansy)
"I cannot express enough how totally amazing, compassionate, caring and helpful the whole team have been in what is a very difficult time for us as a family, helping to arrange a fitting tribute to my Father and taking such amazing care of him during his time with them. Thank you all, from a very grateful daughter."
— Wendy Cross
"Having never had to organise a funeral before I was terrified. Tansy took time to get to know me and all about my late Mum. She then matched the perfect Celebrant to conduct the service for me. I was kept informed every step of the way and was guided gently to making decisions that suited my Family. Although it is an awful thing to have to do I am just so thankful that I chose T W Boorman. I can't thank them enough for their understanding, kindness and support."
— Gill Knight (about Tansy)
"From the moment I made contact with Tansy at TW Boorman, it was a weight off my shoulders. I will be forever grateful for all that Tansy and the team have done at this really difficult time. They showed professionalism, kindness and compassion, and I would like to thank them for treating my partner with great care and respect. Arranging a funeral for my young partner was something I never envisaged happening, but Tansy was able to go through the whole process and arranged a wonderful celebrant to officiate the funeral."
— Natalie Grover (about Tansy)

Superb, Dealing with a funeral has been a challenge for me, however , the support I have received from the team has been exceptional. They make it clear that Boorman’s role is to enable you to offload the stress from the situation, which they did. I would strongly recommend them.

Tansy and her team were absolutely fantastic in guiding us the process to say ‘Goodbye” to our mother after 99 years of a well lived life. Not only did they take care of the funeral arrangements they also guided us through the official process of registering the death. Their attention to detail was amazing and the respect they showed Mum on her journey to the Crematorium was touching. We cannot thank them enough.

Having never had to organise a funeral before I was terrified. Everyone says”there is so much to do” I can honestly say that Tansy and TW Boorman made the whole experience so much easier for me. Tansy took time to get to know me and all about my late Mum. She then matched the perfect Celebrant to conduct the service for me. I was kept informed every step of the way and was guided gently to making decisions that suited my Family. Although it is an awful thing to have to do I am just so thankful that I chose T W Boorman. I can’t thank them enough for their understanding, kindness and support at such a difficult time.

From the very start T W Boorman made the process of arranging our mother's funeral extremely easy, managing all aspects of the arrangements in a professional and respectful manner. Tansy, who we dealt, with was always able to answer our questions in a patient and friendly manner. No request seemed too much trouble. Laura and her team also demonstrated this friendly and yet respectful approach on the day of the funeral. We felt very reassured by having chosen T W Boorman to help at this difficult time. We could not fault them and highly recommend their services.
