Karen - my family and I are extremely grateful for all your help, patience and support during this difficult time..
After dad passed, they were very prompt in collecting his body and bringing him into their care. We made the necessary arrangements with ease. There were a few delays in the proceedings and after a few weeks mum was contacted and requested to come in and fill in another form, though she wasn’t clear what the form was for or why it needed to be signed. A few days later mum was called and asked to email the crematorium to give permission for the cremation to go ahead, this felt a little rushed and had to be done by 5pm on 2hrs notice. As my mum is not very computer proficient I did this on her behalf. We were told that once dad was cremated we would be informed. After waiting a fair few weeks we hadn’t heard anything so mum called,to which we were told that dad had been cremated. No one had bothered to contact us and tell us though.
We then had to make an appointment to collect dads ashes from the crematorium and they are only open one Saturday per month.
We had paid for an urn and were told that dads ashes would be in the urn ready for collection. On arrival to the crem, dads ashes were in a box, not the urn we paid for. The crem staff informed us that the undertakers had not informed them that we wanted an urn. This was really upsetting and frustrating.
The communication of this undertaker left a lot to be desired. At the worst time in your life when you have lost a loved one, this is not what you want or need.
Due to our experience with this undertakers we would not use them again nor recommend them to anyone else.
