I would like to acknowledge the wonderful service we received from Michelle at the Sydenham Branch today. We had a viewing to see my Dad. Michelle prepared everything to perfection and just made a sad situation so much easier. We left smiling, knowing that Dad is in good hands. Thank you Michelle, from the bottom of our hearts

From the first contact on the phone with Angela I knew she would be a great support for my fathers funeral.
When we went to the funeral directors she was warm and friendly. Angela was able to explain the process and what type of funeral was available. It’s such a difficult time but she made the process so much more manageable. I could phone her at anytime and was able to ask any question.
At the funeral Bobby and his team were excellent and very sensitive and respectful.
If you are looking for a funeral directors I would highly recommend Steven Mears in Sydenham -ask for Angela. Thank you so m

From the moment I visited to discuss the pre-plan arrangements one year earlier through to the end of the funeral I felt very well looked after and well advised by Steven Mears. In particular, Gill, who guided me through the funeral arrangements was incredibly helpful, well-informed, caring and kind.
