Dear Edith Blanche Funeral Directors
Arranging my late husbands funeral was the hardest and unthinkable time of my life! You and your team walked every step with me with kindness, patience and dignity for myself my family; down to every detail of my expressed wishes.
Marks after care was exceptional down to every detail I requested. I am truly thankful that his care after death was done with dignity and respect. Your professionalism kindness and attention to detail was so much appreciated down to the bearers wearing a coloured tie as I requested. No black to be worn, but to celebrate Mark’s life with colour, which touched me; the smallest of detail with the biggest impact.
So a heartfelt thank you to all of your team for giving Mark a memorable last journey on this earth. Thank you for all your support and kindness given to myself and my family both then and now.
