On behalf of my grandfather and grandmother Tony and Yvonne Wilson and all the family of Susan Jenkinson and John Brindle, we would like to thank Darwen Funeral Services for all their support and help throughout a very difficult time for all the family. They did an excellent service and could not have asked for a more caring and respectful service. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We were treated with utmost respect and kindness from Darwen Funeral Services. We have attended 2 funerals arranged by this funeral company and each time the service has been excellent. They made sure the funeral itself was just what my Grandma would have wanted and more. David, who looked after us, was extremely kind and sympathetic and did all he could to arrange things as we wished, especially during the recent difficult times. Thank you so much for everything.
