My family and I would just like to thank everyone concerned regarding my mothers Cremation. I was especially impressed with the compassion of staff and professionalism conducted throughout the process. Nothing was to much trouble. Robert put my family at ease and calmly explained the services they provided. The cremation was fitting for my mother and the staff at the funeral directors were wonderful. Top class. You should be very proud of what you do. I would thoroughly recommend the services of Arthur C Towner Ltd to everyone.

On behalf of my mother and myself I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for your company’s handling of my father’s recent funeral. Having never organised one before, from the moment I entered your website I felt I was entering a very professional organisation. The website was able to answer all my initial questions with ease. The moment we stepped into your office in St. Leonards we felt very well looked after. Throughout the whole sad process we were treated with utmost care, respect and professionalism. Thank you.

We were fortunate that Towner's recently handled the arrangements for my mother's funeral. The funeral was carried out in a most professional and dignified way. Edward Towner's friendliness, empathy, kindness, experience and attention to detail were very much appreciated by all the family and he and his team certainly made things much easier for us all at such a difficult time. Thank you.
