His calm presence and professionalism have brought comfort to many families during their most difficult moments.

We are incredibly proud to have Stephen as part of the White Rose Funeral Service family.

Thank you for your wonderful google review. It does mean alot to us when we recieve positive feedback like this.

Can I please ask that if we have helped you arrange a funeral or you have met us and want to leave positive feedback, please do so on Google. Even though we have been around for quite a few years and have helped hundreds of families, we only have very few Google reviews online.

Thank you :)
