Outstanding Service from Jo Turpin at Walter C. Parsons, Topsham Road, Exeter. We would like to take this opportunity to praise Jo Turpin for the exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism she demonstrated while looking after our beloved relative, Catherine Pink, who passed away in December. Jo went above and beyond in every aspect of her role, ensuring that Catherine was treated with the utmost dignity and that our family felt supported throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail, warmth, and dedication far exceeded our expectations, making a very difficult time a little
★★★★★
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Jo Turpin at the Topsham Road, Exeter Branch, was truly outstanding from start to finish. She carefully and thoughtfully arranged the funeral of my husband, John Holman. She comforted us right from the first phone call and especially when I visited the chapel of rest. Her efficiency in organising the funeral was second to none. The day was beautiful and everything ran smoothly, thanks to the hard work Jo had put in. She's a credit to the profession and my family and I can't thank her enough. Thank you. Pam Holman and family
★★★★★
I cannot speak highly enough of staff at the Topsham Road branch. Darren and Jo were great. Jo was so kind, understanding and caring and was always there for me to answer questions and guide me through details.. They carried out the wishes of myself and my grandson after my daughter tragically died and their whole ethos was about caring and respect, even the jewellery returned to us was packaged in suitable boxes and pouches. Thank you so much to you all.
★★★★★
I couldn't have wished for a kinder or more understanding funeral director than James - he was fabulous and so helpful, efficiently dealing with and gently guiding me through all the necessary arrangements at this very sad, emotionally draining time , and yet miraculously he quietly managed to keep my spirits up throughout - nothing was too much trouble. Thank you James and to everyone involved, for all the care and attention your very necesary service gave to me and my family.
★★★★★
We would like to thank W Parsons especially James who arranged the funeral for Bradley. He made the day easier to bear with his compassion, attention to detail and very professional manner in which the funeral was carried out. We would recommend W Parsons to anyone looking for an excellent funeral director. Thank you once again Valerie Loughman & Tina Stevens
