★★★★★ I was worried about a direct cremation, but David reassured us that our Dad would be treated with respect.A huge thank you to David Jackie and the team for guiding us through this process with such kindness.
★★★★★ They did an amazing job from start to finish. Took all our special requirements (for our hindu faith) and delivered with no issues. Lovely staff at the Darlington branch, and our director Terry did a fantastic job. Everyone was lovely, patient and caring throughout the whole process. We had so many positive comments about the service from family and friends. Thank you for giving my mum a beautiful send off. ❤️
★★★★★ Excellent service in all aspects from the team at John Meynell.
We had to have my mother moved into their care very early in the morning the lady and gentleman who attended to her were very kind and treated us all with the upmost of dignity.
Tracey was faultless thoughout the whole process and kept us up to date on all the proceedings from start to finish everything was perfect we had a wonderful service at the crematorium conducted by the celibrant Jodie McCombie.
A perfect and fitting end to my mothers final journey.
Many thanks to all.
