My Beautiful Mother recently passed away very unexpectedly and suddenly, having never had to organize or deal with anything like this before, I went on recommendations for JW. I have to say I am so pleased i did. From the moment we contacted and spoke to Sarah and Ian, they were so compassionate, helpful, understanding, patient and completely dignified. It is so important to know that your loved one is being well looked after and all your wishes are met which is exactly what they did. Ian went above and beyond for us, he was so personalised and nothing we asked for was ever too much trouble. They made what was such a difficult time an easier experience. I would highly recommend if you want a bespoke and dignified experience for your loved one.
