Tony Clarke Funeral Directors - Southwick

My Uncle Jack died age 86 on 01/08/2017 in Sunderland Hospital having spent his last days in Alexander Care home in Southwick not a stones throw of the place he was born 76 Edward Burdis Street, so I thought it fitting his funeral arrangements should be handled by a local funeral director. So I contacted Tony Clarke who made the whole experience a celebration of my late uncle's life in a way that even today puts a smile on my face. Tony arranged for a humanist service which was conducted by female at Sunderland crematorium with humour and empathy in front of the assembly of us 8 mourners. Tony made the whole event so special by arranging to have my uncles trumpet placed on his coffin instead of flowers, and to top things off arranged to have my uncle's favourite Puccini aria as his intro music and an lost composition played by Jacks hero a Jazz trumpeter called Harry James as his final curtain call So thank you Tony for everything you did to make my last memory of my uncle Jacks time on earth the best it could possibly be.

I can not fault the service this company gave to my father who passed..even walked further out from family home and half through the shopping area..amazing..tony goes that little bit further to make his clients happy and to keep his deceased comfortable..when i visited my dad in the funeral home I had travelled from Birmingham and was nearly closing time and Tony still told me to take aslong as i needed..n i did bless whole hour I just stood and starred at my beautiful daddy..i sat beside him and was giving paper and an envelope to write a letter for my dad to take with him..thank you to tony and your partner for providing such a respectful and dignified service xxx
