Peace of mind is priceless
From making the initial 'phone call a few years ago and speaking to lovely Shona, to make arrangements for the inevitable, as we were in our late 70s, upto the passing of my amazing beloved husband of 40yrs in February, I felt I was speaking to a friend. Although i have spoken briefly to various representatives of her team on occasions, who, i assure you do justice to Shona's team leadership, Shona was the lady I asked for. Speaking of the passing of a loved one is very emotional, one feels very ' raw ', Shona left me with a heart felt smile -and me and my family with peace of mind, as always. She always kept me informed, always asked how we were, arranged suitable dates, etc, etc and always had time for a little chat with me and ALWAYS said that they were there for me, anytime, and they were! So genuine and caring. Always left me and my very close family with a warm smile, and peace of mind ! The donation to plant a tree for each loved one they have in their care, is the epitome of Celebration of Life. We truly felt that from My Precious Husband, Pop, Grandpa - passing, we had left him in the loving care of our our most trusted, genuine friends. Shona, your team, all Celebration of Life representatives, - we thank you from the depths of our hearts. Peggy
Just Perfect
What an absolutely superb company to deal with.
Mum took her time in choosing a company to deal with her affairs and chose her plan in advance.
The first telephone contact - very friendly team and the brochure arrived promptly.
Booking process - so easy
Always prompt in answering emails and 'phone calls.
All staff very knowledgeable and courteous.
They gently guided us through the whole process with empathy when mum died and with a minimum of fuss whilst keeping us informed at every step.
Total excellence

Easy no fuss application
It was very easy to complete the online application for a prepaid direct to crematorium funeral.
I did phone the help desk to confirm one detail and it was answered in a couple of rings and the lady was very informative and kind.

The fact that it was so easy to do online.
Clear, comprehensive information online and helpful admin staff make this an easy choice.
The online information is clear and comprehensive, and when I had a couple of queries which were not in the FAQs the admin staff were friendly and professional. It could not have been easier to purchase my plan, I'm hoping it won't be needed for qute some time but when it is the information is all there for my family.

Easy to contact very informative and booking was straightforward. Fortunately not had to use the service yet but I’m sure it will be equally as efficient
All paid for, and peace of mind.
All the cremation services seem to offer a similar service. The information package we received looked very professional. We felt it compared very favourably in price to other packages. Everything arrived quickly.
