We contacted Derek Moss to arrange the funeral arrangements for our late mother and very glad we did. Kevin Taylor was very helpful to us, in making the right choices for the funeral. Kevin listened and understood what the family wanted or requested and carried out our every wish. Under the sad and difficult times of losing a loved one the stress and anxiety of making the many decisions for the arrangements they were made less difficult due to the professional advice and guidance given to us throughout the whole process. Thank you for your support.

When my Mam passed away in January, I knew immediately who I wanted to help plan and prepare her funeral.
I had briefly met Kevin in November where he also helped my family with my brother in laws funeral.
What can I say..Kevin’s compassion, kindness and support was absolutely incredible.
He not only planned Mam’s service, but made it the most personal, beautiful send off adding things that I wouldn’t have even thought of..like having my Labrador ( who was a special dog to Mam) walk alongside him in front of Mam, from leaving our home, and again arriving at the crematorium.
