I felt very let down as I had to chase for information every step of the way. I was told that I would be updated and in the end the only way to get updates was to contact Memoria and made to feel I was a nuisance.

A simply and stress free process

After making initial contact with Sam, apart from completing a legal form online, everything was taken care of by Memoria, I had to do nothing. I would highly recommend them and already have to friends who want a direct cremation but are not keen on a prepaid plan.

The service offer was explained in a most accessible manner and comprehensively. Different forms of payment were also explained. I had questions regarding personal requests and confirmation which were fully answered. I was surprised and delighted by the sensitivity accorded to personalizing the experience for my dependents.

SINCERE CUSTOMER CARE

I have booked a pre paid plan for a direct funeral with Memoria Funerals for both my wife and myself by telephone, it was so comforting and explained with a very plesent and and knowledgeble person who spent time and clearly went into this plan so sincere and understanding with question and answers carried out very clearly and straight forward which i found was honest and reliable with great expeirience of customer care.
I wish to thank Shaun the person who finalised both plans and Memoria Funerals for the the dedicated work in preparing these plans for me without any problems at all.
Yes i would sincerely put MEMORIA FUNERALS at the top of a 5 star rating.
