I sadly lost my Dear Dad and had never had to arrange a funeral before. My first telephone call was to Hugh, Mills and Gaye and thank God I didn't phone anyone else. Darren answered my call and was so helpful and arranged to visit our house.On arrival he was very professional and caring and swiftly arranged everything and left us with all we needed to know. Alison looked after my Dad and was very kind.The day of the funeral was so special and Darren went out of his way to take my Dad along the coast road as he knew Dad loved the seaside.The whole service and floral tributes were excellent and it was a perfect send off for my Dad and I know he would have been very proud.Darren and the team are Outstanding, Professional and Caring and I will never forget.John Trenerry

They were highly professional in every aspect and nothing was too much trouble for you.They helped to make the day special for us and I thank you whole heartedly for this.
