Couldn't have asked for a better service from the first time I walked into the Balham branch to the actual funeral service. All the staff I spoke to were very polite, professional and helpful. On the day of the funeral everything went like clockwork, no rushing around after the service, happy to wait until we were all ready to leave. Although not a service you want to have to use, they are very highly recommended.
Response from Ashton Maxwell
I am pleased that you were well looked after by our team. We know how special each person is and aim to convey this in all aspects of our work from the arrangements to the day of the service. Thank you for this positive recommendation, it is greatly appreciated.

From the moment I walked into their office I was put at ease.
Heather, the lady who greeted me was very pleasant and helpful. Everything was explained to me carefully so that I was aware of my options. At the same time there was no 'hard sell' put on me.
Samantha, the lady in charge on the day of the funeral explained everything in detail of what to expect. She made everything run smoothly and to time.
All in all, they made what could a sad and stressful occasion a lot easier.
I would highly recommend these people.
