Reg, Marie and Sam - December 2018

I can’t recommend Penrose highly enough. They were excellent in every way. Efficiency, advice, assistance, sensitivity and communication. My Mother’s wishes were carried out to every detail. Their help eased all anxiety and nerves and led to a very emotional day being focused on my Mother. It was a celebration of her life and everyone that attended commented on how well the whole service went. Thank you everyone at Penrose Funerals you made a very hard day all that much easier.
