"A personal service"

A personal service with nothing too much trouble. A moving and fitting tribute to our Dad with all inclusive costs clearly laid out and plenty of liaison with the family in the lead up to the final committal. The personalised order of service with numerous photographs and seeds of Forget-Me-Nots are beautiful and we will treasure them.

"Treated us with kindness and respect"

Many Thanks to James and the people at cherish. They treated us with kindness and respect and guided us through a difficult process. We had the funeral that we wanted. We were never rushed or pushed in anyway. At every step of the process they were clear about pricing and excellent at communication.

"Reasonably priced and very helpful"

Reasonably priced and very helpful & accommodating. Matt helped the day go smooth. Helen put together beautiful order of service. Driver respectful and friendly.

"They took a lot of worry out of…"

They took a lot of worry out of planning the whole thing. They include the book of memorial, flowers and seeds. With what we saved I could afford my Father a horses and carriage and bagpipes. Tim was extremely helpful and even answered the phone on Sunday and in the evening. Carol and Helen were amazing too.

One slight confusion, I was told if my dad died of Sepsis then I would have to pay extra over £300 for a special embarment. As opposed to over a hundred for a normal one. I checked this with several other funeral homes and they had never heard of it. After they picked up the body I was told that it didn't say Sepsis and I wouldn't have to have him embarmed. The day before the funeral I was then told he did have Sepsis and I couldn't afford the special embarment and my sisters were unable to view him at the Chappel of rest.

On the whole I was very satisfied, they were very very professional and Tim even kept his cool when I was annoyed with the procedure.

I will be contacting them very soon to organise my own funeral plan.

Cherish made this sad occasion so easy for me. Carol is so efficient and good at her job I cant recommend them enough. The funeral day ran so smoothly and everyone commented how well it went. They are very professional all of them but Carol helped and advised me all the way as well as having a great sense of humour which made life brighter.
