Our dearest friend who was penniless and very disadvantaged in this life was provided the best funeral and send off any loved ones and friends could hope for. He was provided a funeral by the local Ealing Ccouncil who chose W Sherry and Sons in Sudbury to arrange the funeral . Our group of friends were very taken aback by the care , kindness and compassion showed by this firm and it`s workers . They provide the best service and a lovely coffin and flowere , all very respectfully delivered to the Mortlake crematorium and contributing greatly to hiss dignity and final resting . Thankyou ! Peter and friends of PW !

I would recommend Sherrys all the time. Loretta really made you feel like an individual (knowing she does this for so many families grieving making them feel individually special) was so kind patient and respectful. Very thorough went through everything. The funeral directors assisting on the day were also wonderful so kind and respectful.
