The funeral was dealt with very sympathetically and professionally by everyone at Ivor Thomas. Nothing was an issue, and the flowers were spectacular. This was my first experience in organising a funeral, and everything went smoothly. And my brother was put to rest with dignity by a very professional company. I would recommend Ivor Thomas for anyone who has need of the services of a funeral director as their costs are extremely competitive compared to all the other funeral directors I contacted.
