I cannot speak highly enough or recommend more the services that Charles Rourke & Sons, provide. During such a difficult time Claire and Martin made everything feel effortless, answered all of our questions and nothing was too much trouble. As a family business, it really felt as though their family were looking after ours, at a time when we had lost the very heart of it. Their sensitivity, professionalism and warmth was more than we could have hoped for when planning the funeral of our loved one.
