I would definitely recommend Tomlinson and Windley. Fiona helped us arrange the Funeral my Mum would have wanted and also deserved. Arrangements were made to our wishes without any difficulty. On the day everything was perfect. A big thank you to Fiona and the Team at Tomlinson and Windley.

The service provided by Tomlinson and Windley was both professional and caring. I was very impressed by their attention to detail, their ability to anticipate questions and concerns and their compassion overall. Their staff were there at a very difficult time and I cannot recommend them highly enough - Thank you.

Myself and my family would really like to thank you for the care and attention you gave to Micheal when he was in your care. We cannot thank Fiona enough for the compassion she showed us at the very difficult time. The team, Roger and Steve showed us so much respect on the day of the funeral we can’t thank them enough. We would highly recommend their services, it’s comforting to know our loved one was in safe hands

Words are not even enough to express how amazing Fiona has truly been from helping us plan the wonderful funeral for my amazing dad, to making us feel as comfortable as she possibly could at Chapel Of Rest, to helping me sort the ashes jewellery. She went above and beyond, always checking in, always making me feel so welcome when I went to see her. I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done Fiona, you are the most kind hearted, genuine person I have ever met and we will forever be thankful!

My father passed away on 1st January. Having never dealt with organising a funeral before I felt grateful for the guidance and help received by Fiona Turton. Fiona explained everything and ensured that every detail of Dad's funeral went just as myself and my Sister wanted. I cannot thank everyone enough for making the day run seamlessly. Thank you

Following the sad occasion of our father/father-in-law’s passing we were so pleased with the compassion and empathy shown by Fiona whilst arranging the burial. It made the whole process so much easier as Fiona was so knowledgeable and helpful throughout. On the day of the funeral the men bringing the coffin to church were so respectful and helpful and made the whole experience so much easier to bear. Thanks so much to Fiona and the team. We as a family appreciate all the help and support we were given.

There is nothing worse than losing a loved one .But losing a son at the age of 28 and also his siblings losing a brother is the worse pain ever .You can only hope you celebrate their life by giving them the send off they deserved. Fiona made this possible, she made it feel homely when visiting him played him music kept chatting to him and the funeral itself was the most perfect funeral ever .The coffin which was brought home was breathtaking everything was on time and as requested ,everyone involved helpful and professional . We couldn't of hoped for anyone else to look after our loved one who blessed us all and everyone who met him in the time we was lucky enough to have him by our sides Thankyou Fiona your kindness will always be appreciated
