From our initial enquiry phone call about the possibility of a crematorium service within a week we felt there was a calm, can-do attitude that was very helpful from the whole team. Visiting the branch in person to clarify the details, chose flowers and arrange payment was so helpful and felt personal. Many thanks for your support at this difficult time.

Kayleigh from the Knowle branch of Thomas Bragg & Sons arranged the funerals of 3 of my close relatives. She was so helpful, kind and sympathetic and I felt that nothing was too much trouble for her. I was also impressed by the members of staff who were in attendance on the days of the funerals

The service that me and my family received with funeral of our father from Thomas Bragg and Sons was second to none. We would definitely recommend Thomas Bragg and sons and use them again! From start to finish we couldn't have asked for more! Thank you!
