Thank you to the lovely groundsman, took his cap off and stood in such a respectful manner as our Mam passed by. Blowing him a kiss was a pleasure.

Also, offering to help us today. You lovely man x

Steve the groundsman thank you so much for the teas today u do an amazing job and cheered us all up. Keep up the good work.

My daughter and I took my Mum this afternoon to collect the flowers from my Dads funeral that took place yesterday before they all wilted in the sun or were eaten by the rabbits.

I have to say the grounds man Steve was absolutely fantastic & nothing was too much trouble. He organised to bring the flowers to our cars and loaded them up for us. We also asked where the woodland walk was as my Dads ashes were going to be scattered there & although he’d finished his work for the day offered to take us! We weren’t rushed and he told us all about how the Woodland Walk came about - he even offered to get us a drink. Steve totally put my Mum at ease and showed total compassion at such an emotional time!

Steve - your customer service is amazing! And in the words of my Dad - ‘You deserve a medal as big as a frying pan’! A true gent!

Lovely an peaceful looked very Christmasey � ���⚘�
