As we found, planning a funeral can be an extremely overwhelming and stressful task with the processes a family have to undertake during such an emotional time. We want to thank you immensely for incorporating our needs for our dear father and assisting us to facilitate a task less confronting. Your professionalism and experience gave us much comfort and confidence to get through it all.

I am writing to you to express my sincere thanks for the support and care you gave me and my mother in arranging and organizing her funeral. In particular, I would like to thank you both for the way in which you treated my mother while preparing her for viewing. You showed her both respect and sensitivity which helped in our time of need. I wish you both the best in your future endeavours, and if my experience has been anything to go by, then I am sure your business will be a great success.

I wouldn’t dream of calling anyone else because it was like having a member of my family sort everything out with no fuss. My wishes for a very personal and hands-on farewell to Eric based at our home were no problem and the willow casket was just beautiful. I would recommend State of Grace to anyone who loses a loved one because their sensitivity to your needs is very special & it just feels right. Thanks so much for helping me through it, I couldn’t have coped without you.

I feel like I am writing to an old friend which is how we all feel I think – you made everything for us so personal – you facilitated putting our and our Dad’s wishes into reality, something that none of us thought was possible. We can’t thank you enough, you were truly amazing from beginning to end. Hopefully I won’t see you for a while (!) but just wanted to tell you what you did for us made the experience into something I will look back on with warmth. Heartfelt love from all of us.

We can’t thank you enough for the amazing kindness and respect State of Grace has shown us throughout this very difficult time. Thanks also for looking after our son at the funeral and giving him the lovely book. I know that your generosity comes from the hearts of mothers – you are very special women.
