★★★★★ I presided with Alex from this exact reason - looking at the reviews and I couldn't have been in better hands
From the organisation, to the level of care and the overall comfort we had in knowing my grandma had a great funeral.
The day went seamless and we really had him to thank.
I would recommend Thornill Funeral Services to anyone.
Many thanks again
★★★★★ Thank you Alexi for looking after us so well during the most difficult weeks of our lives. You treated us all with such kindness and compassion. The dignity and respect you showed for my husband was clear to see. You treated our children with respect and included them in every aspect - all their questions were answered and you communicated directly with them too, making them feel fully included.
Nothing was too much for you. You guided us through every detail and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly both for the cremation service and the thanksgiving service a few weeks lat
★★★★★ Strongly recommended. Alex guided our family with so much kindness and skill, ensuring that the funeral for our close family member was a deeply personal and fitting tribute.
At a time when everything could feel overwhelming, we were able to rely on him to handle it all. He made brilliant recommendations, sharing a range of excellent local small businesses whose flowers and catering were praised by all the guests.
I very much hope not to need to rely on a funeral director again in the near future, but for those in the Newcastle area who are looking for someone who goes the extra mile to turn
★★★★★ My experience with Thornhill Funeral Services has been incredibly positive.
Alexander was always available when I needed him, demonstrating exceptional patience with both myself and my dad. He was supportive, kind, and highly knowledgeable throughout the process.
When I had questions about the various options, he provided clear and concise answers that gave me all the information I needed without any confusion.
Above all, Alexander showed deep respect and understanding for the difficult situation we were facing, as well as for my sister, Irene.
Thank you, Alexander, for everything you have
★★★★★ Alex was fantastic. He was not only extremely kind and sensitive but he was also very professional. He responded to our changing circumstances and went above and beyond to provide us with everything we needed. He came out to our house within a hour or two of us contacting him and kept in regular touch with us throughout a long 7 week wait between my Dad dying and the funeral. He arranged everything and nothing was too much trouble. Alex has worked for a North East funeral provider for years and now runs his own company so you get the benefit of years of experience and contacts along with the p
