Our Awards

Our Head of Funerals, James Blackburn comments, “I’m so proud that the NAFD have awarded us the first Gold Award to be issued in the UK. All of our team aims to provide our families the best possible service, and this award helps to recognise all our efforts in reaching the highest possible standards”.
