But behind every single review is a real family, and it’s their experience that drives everything we do.
We used Ivor Thomas Funerals for our late mum, considering we were all still in shock with her passing we found the team went above and beyond. Not only did it take the pressure off something so important they were exceptional in guiding us in the right direction. We experienced a family natured rapport that was full of empathy and consideration for us all, on every detail at this time of sadness. Big thanks to all the team especially Sam & Tate
Very kind and compassionate throughout a very difficult time, Mark’s service was just what he would have wanted, can’t thank you enough.
We recently lost my wonderful Dad and during the hardest time of our lives Ivor Thomas Funerals provided the most compassionate yet professional service we could have wished for. I didn’t know much about how funeral homes operated so had phoned a few days before my Dad had passed as we knew we needed to choose somewhere special for his resting place, and from the moment my call was answered I knew we (and most importantly Dad) would be in the best hands. Diolch o galon to every single one of the team for looking after him so well and for helping us to give him the celebration of life he so deserved.
We wish to thank Ivor Thomas Funerals for their support in arranging my late wife's funeral in such a respectful and dignified manner. During this very difficult time everyone was very kind and easy to communicate with, guiding us through the process at a time when we were struggling. A special thank you to Mark for the warmth and compassion he showed to all the family during this horrendous time. He was very kind, professional, caring and always available to provide advice and answer any questions we had. The funeral service went beautifully with great attention to detail. All who attended commented that it was a beautiful service and lovely tribute to my dearly departed wife. The floral displays prepared by Mark’s mum were gorgeous, another thing that was arranged perfectly by them.
I wish to thank Ivor Thomas Funerals for all their help & support. Everything arranged was just perfect. Myself and my family could not have asked for better service.
We can't thank Mark and his team enough, having never had to go through something like this before, Mark came out to see the family and walked us through the things we needed to do ,gave us options for things and where there for us if and when we needed. On the day they made the funeral go as well as funerals can go ,all the staff were very polite and professional and went above and beyond to make dad's funeral go perfect. Thank you to all the staff not just the ones we had contact with but the ones we did t see. We would thoroughly recommend you use this company and they won't let you down Thank you again Carol, haydn ,Kevin
Your calmness, kindness and while completely professional every member of staff I've been in touch with has been the most personable, understanding and human - from the moment we spoke to someone on the phone to make an appointment you have all been fantastic, we've never felt rushed, left out of the loop or like questions couldn't be asked - even at the last minute changes and the uncertainty of me!!! From the bottom of my heart - i am so grateful to you guys for being the last support system and I genuinely hope your business continues for a long time, Thank you all.
I couldn’t recommend Ivor Thomas Funerals highly enough. I didn’t know where to start after my dad’s passing, but the team were professional, compassionate and caring, making everything as simple as possible and taking some of the burden off my shoulders. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Mark and the team for their support and dedication in providing such a high-quality service.
