A very personal and professional service provided by Sharon cannot thank her enough for her help and advice at a very upsetting time. Would also like to thank the drivers again for a very professional service along with the personal touch. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone unfortunate enough to require their services Thank you very much.

I would highly recommend Thomas Marin Funeral Directors! The service we received was excellent from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and all our requests were carried out, exactly as we expected. At a sad and difficult time, it was comforting to know that we were in safe hands.

We first met with staff at Thomas Marin just over 4 years ago when Dad passed away leaving a Dignity policy for his funeral. As his passing was all so sudden we didn’t know his wishes but they made everything so easy and they were so helpful. When Mum recently passed away Thomas Marin was the obvious choice for us as a family. Again we felt extremely welcome and supported in our decisions, some we knew others we had support to decide. Not only are you supported at the time of making funeral arrangements but up until, throughout and even after the service we got amazing support and service from everyone. Nothing was too much and last minute changes were taken on board making a hard time for us into a celebration of Mums life as they’d done for Dad. Huge thank you to all the staff your support has been much appreciated.

From the moment we walked through the door of the office to the final door closing at the crematorium the team were kind, compassionate, respectful and listened to us intentionally, making sure my Fathers’ wishes were as he requested. This care enabled to celebrate his life without worry. Would highly recommend
