Dear Brendon,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the kindness you have shown over the past few weeks.

Dear Jeremy and Nathan,

We would just like to thank you for the exemplary way you conducted Bill’s funeral on September 28th at Basildon Crematorium. Every aspect was just as we hoped it would be. You were always understanding and re-assuring.

Thank you

Jean, Carl and Donna - November 2018

Thank you to all at Penrose for helping both of us through what could have been a difficult time under very trying circumstances.
The caring way you dealt with my Mother, Flossie’s funeral over the telephone, your kindness in fulfilling all our wishes and the respect and professionalism shown today made it a day we shall always treasure.
Thank you again,

Julia and Martin Stevens - February 2021

Nathan and all the team,

Much love

To Penrose Funerals

Thank you so much from all our family and friends for your excellent service. The whole funeral was beautifully and respectfully done, it was so dignified and went very smoothly. Especially you went out of your way to go past P***’s place of work where they all clapped as we went by. He would have loved that.

Jarvis Family - 12th December 2024

Dear Penrose team,

We just wanted to say thank you for being so kind and giving the best care and send off to my dad, Paul Bentley,

Your services gave me and my family such comfort and direction in such an awful time.

Again, thank you,

best wishes

The Bentley Family - Nov 2023

To all at Penrose Funerals,

Please accept my thanks for the sensitive and professional way in which you carried out my mother’s funeral arrangements. My brothers and I were also extremely happy with the way everything went on the day.

Thank you

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
Mark Steadman - Feb 28th 2020
