Shocking Service!

After losing my son in January I entrusted the Farnborough branch as my family had been using them for the past 40+ years. What a mistake this was! So many errors made by Kerrie the worst being I was unable to say a final goodbye to my boy!
The lack of communication and efficiency caused such added heart break and turmoil.
Please don't let this happen to your loved ones....
