Dawn was extremely helpful in providing us with advice and guiding us through the arrangements for my Uncle’s funeral. She really made what was a stressful time for us a lot easier and is an absolute credit to her profession. In addition, the private chapel at Alfred English was perfect to give my Uncle a lovely send-off and Dawn’s colleague who oversaw the day could not have been more helpful.

We could not recommend Alfred English highly enough.
Dawn who helped me and my sister arrange our Fathers funeral was very professional and supportive throughout the whole process. On the day we had complete confidence in the staff. With care they kept us informed at each stage and the funeral went beautifully, as we had hoped.
We are really grateful for the help and excellent service provided by the Alfred English Team

I cannot praise Dawn enough she was very kind, helpful and made what was a very difficult time easier. Due to the sad situation I kept forgetting what was said but Dawn said to call anytime. This lady is excellent at her job.
The lady in the top hat(Denise) was also very kind and helpful.
We used this Funeral Parlour many years ago for my Dad and aunt and everything has always gone very smoothly. Thank you to all the staff involved.
