We were invited in for a meeting to discuss our funeral plan in detail. We were given lots of design options for items and memorabilia that we wanted. Staff members were incredibly friendly and accommodating both on the day of the funeral and in all contact beforehand. They provided a lovely service and a beautiful photo album for memories with the same design as our order of service to keep. They also called after to ensure everything was to standard.
Response from Francis Chappell Sons.
Our quality of care is something we are proud of and we know what a difference it makes to the families in their time of need. I am pleased that the arrangements for your loved one were carried out to your satisfaction.

Zelia was so kind and warm throughout. On the day Dave could not have been more wonderful. My brother and I wanted to be pallbearers for our dear Dad and Dave and his lads talked us through everything, making sure everything felt safe. He checked in with us throughout, sometimes with just a look, before, during and after the service to make sure everything was as we wished. Everyone could not have been kinder or more efficient. Thank you so much
Response from Francis Chappell Sons.
