"Dear Tim,

Thank you very much for taking such care over our Mother's cremation & memorial services.

From our first meeting, you have offered us clear guidance & been a calming influence on our blubbering! At each moment, you gave us time to collect  our thoughts & then put everything into practice without fuss.

We were delighted with the way each service was conducted . Just as important to us  as your expertise was the fact that you had a clear memory of our mother. Your stories of your dealings with her were funny & authentic. The time you took  to speak to us before and after the service was greatly appreciated. 

Please extend our thanks to Inger & your other staff

"  Dear Tim, Mel and all at Slade.

Oliver  here.

I wanted to say an enormous heartfelt thank you for your wonderful care of my father; for all your conscientious attention to detail and for your flexibility around every request for my father’s funeral.

Nothing was too much trouble for you and you all did an outstanding job on the day, from all the logistics, to making sure the pallbearers (me included) were not wilting too much in the heat!

And the committal on Saturday was just perfect; you are all consummate professionals and I couldn’t imagine having a better experience at such a sad and emotional time.

My very best wishes and huge respect to you all,

Thank you.

" Dear Tim, I want to say a large thank you to you and your team for the arrangements of Sue's funeral and cremation last week. Your advice, suggestions made whether used or rejected, and the conduct of the physical aspect of your services proved to be comprehensive, discreet and professional.

I am conscious that the timeline, when compared to many funerals, was quite short but never did I feel rushed for a decision. And, your service was never compromised.

Sue deserved the best and she had it.

Once again, thank you.
