The team at Clark's exceeded all our expectations for Mum's funeral arrangements - they were all so professional in supporting us through a very difficult time & putting in place the arrangements to provide a fitting tribute & sent off for someone so close to our hearts.From the first meeting with Charlie to make preparations for the funeral service through to Ruth the celebrant ( she was fantastic) , Amanda who prepared the order of service , Susan who created the fitting floral tributes & Anthony who put us at ease at the crematorium by clearly outlying how the service would proceed we were shown such great empathy & warmth at all times.My Dad said after the funeral ' he was delighted with how things went & everything was beyond his expectations & we were able to provide a fantastic tribute & farewell ' .I can't thank everyone at Clark's enough for their support & highly recommend them to take care of you during a very difficult time in your lives.
Charlie was an absolute star; he was so helpful when we had to sadly arrange my mother in laws funeral. We were able to deal with everything remotely (as we live over 300 miles away). He supported us in making decisions and made sure we were updated at all times. Just a couple of weeks later and we've just had her ashes delivered to us in Cornwall. Great service
Response from the owner: Hello LynnWhat a wonderful review. Charlie is the youngest member of my family and I am delighted that everything was carried out both professionally and thoughtfully.Susan
This family firm offered us a unique option to give our relative the simple cremation he wanted but with a chance to hold a bespoke small service at the chapel of rest to say farewell. Susan and Charlie were very professional and supportive at every step. This was a very positive experience and has helped a lot with our grief.
Response from the owner: Thank you for such kind words, Charlie and I are pleased that you and your family found comfort during the private gathering held in our Chapel
We have used J.A. Clark & Son several times in our family, and would not use anyone else. Everything is managed with sensitivity and care, and there is no pressure to spend more on particular aspects of the funeral. Charlie was fantastic with my father's funeral recently, and took care of everything for us - he put us in touch with an incredible celebrant, Ruth Arnold, who spent a lot of time with us getting to know my father which made her eulogy really meaningful. Susan did a lovely flower arrangement and Anthony and team were really great on the day making sure all went smoothly. I had worried about certain aspects in advance, such as whether the music would be tested etc. but I needn't have, as everything was well in hand among the excellent team.They certainly made a difficult time easier to deal with, and we would use them again without hesitation.
