★★★★★
Thank you so much for the team at Plympton. Shaun Harrison in particular you were fantastic getting our mum through a very difficult day. From the moment she decided our dad's funeral was going to be dealt with by Walter C Parsons she wasn't disappointed. The day has been dealt with professionally and with so much respect for the people grieving. You have all delivered above & beyond & our family can't thank you all enough!
★★★★★
A heartfelt thank-you to all at the Plympton office for their care and professionalism shown to my family and I, from the first phone call onwards. Nothing was too much trouble. I felt that they really cared. Thank you also for recommending the florist Hannah, who beautifully captured mums cottage garden flowers for her arrangements. Also for recommending the Celebrant, Paul Whitell, who was so kind and compassionate.
★★★★★
We cannot thank Shaun, Tanya, Darren, Steve and the whole Team at WCP Plympton enough. From beginning to end their exemplary professionalism, care, sensitivity and good humour made a very difficult process so much easier. A special mention to Paul Whitell the celebrant who was recommended by Shaun and who captured the essence of our dad beautifully. Thank you all again. Maxine & Natasha
★★★★★
To Matt, Tanya and all the Team. Special thanks for your help and support at a very difficult time, with the added stress of the Coroner's office. Everything was carried out with care and efficiency. Again thankyou. Jane and Malcolm
★★★★★
My brother Alan and I would like to thank the staff at Walter C Parsons , particularly Sean(Shaun) and Tania , for the excellent way they handled my mother’s arrangements and service. They actually dealt with my father 43 years ago too, so it was so appropriate they dealt with mum. They were empathetic, understanding and totally delivered throughout the process, making the service the joy and celebration of life, that mum would have wished for. Thank you so much
