Testimonials

To everybody at Penrose,

We are writing to you to express our gratitude and thankfulness for all your help during our sad time. You gave Alan a beautiful send off, he would have thought so himself also!

We are very thankful we were recommended to you.

Very best wishes

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.

Good morning Jeremy

A big thank you to you and your team for yesterday, the day went like clockwork (apart from my father in law following the wrong limousine out of the crematorium which raised a few laughs at the wake)

I just wanted you to know how grateful my whole family were, from the first call to the last handshake you were professional and caring and my mum in particular was very happy with the day.
Please pass on my thanks to your staff.
Kind Regards

To Jeremy, Nathan, Brendon and team,

We just wanted to say to all of you a big thank you for the respect and dignity you showed for our late father Donald. You are all very special people which showed for our father and on previous times for our late mother Patricia and my lovely Mick.

Love

To Jeremy, Nathan and everyone involved with our father’s funeral. We would like to express our deepest thanks for all you did after the loss of our dear husband/father. Your kindness and professionalism were incredible. The fact that you all wore ‘silly socks’ without prompting blew us away! You are all very special people, Thank you again

Dear all at Penrose,
just to say a big thankyou for all the arrangements you did for my Mum’s funeral, Greta Bower. It’s good to know that in this day and age there are people who can organise and do things correctly, with care and compassion.
Once again thankyou for everything.
Regards,

To Jeremy, Nathan, Jon and Brendon,

A simple thank you sometimes isn’t enough to truly express the gratitude that’s felt for those who are there when we need them. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for carrying out the funeral for my dear Caroline. The kindness and sympathy you showed were far beyond expectation. You were there for me throughout the whole proceeding. Yours is truly a wonderful company.

Thank you
