Thornhill Funeral Services Arvostelua 

Alex was very attentive, kind and helpful. He made a difficult situation much easier and I knew my late aunt was well cared for and treated with respect whilst in his care. He listened carefully to my suggestions and what should have been a sad day actually turned out into a nice, respectful day with few tears as it was so beautiful. Catering recommend was absolutely lovely and the whole day went smoothly. Careful attention to detail. Absolutely perfect.

Alexander provided an excellent service. He was sensitive, considerate and extremely efficient. I would recommend him unreservedly.

I presided with Alex from this exact reason - looking at the reviews and I couldn't have been in better hands

From the organisation, to the level of care and the overall comfort we had in knowing my grandma had a great funeral.

The day went seamless and we really had him to thank.

I would recommend Thornill Funeral Services to anyone.

Many thanks again

Alex made a really difficult time so much more bearable and manageable. Alex took lots of time to talk to me about options, provided invaluable advice and support in the planning of the funeral, facilitated visits to different crematoria to help me decide which one to choose, regularly checked in with me, accommodated all my requests, took care of the minutest detail to make sure everything was in accordance with my wishes, etc. I couldn't have asked for more. What really impressed me was Alex's careful handling of paperwork and choice of words - from talking about taking my husband into his care, to always referring to my husband by his name (never as "the coffin" or "the deceased" or "the body"), etc. He also thought of things that I'd never have thought of, like giving me a lock of my husband's hair or a print of his ring finger. And he even told me about things to consider when it comes to scattering my husband's ashes. Alex is considerate, caring, kind, compassionate, articulate, generous with his time, and extremely experienced in and proud of what he is doing. Highly recommend.

Thank you Alexi for looking after us so well during the most difficult weeks of our lives. You treated us all with such kindness and compassion. The dignity and respect you showed for my husband was clear to see. You treated our children with respect and included them in every aspect - all their questions were answered and you communicated directly with them too, making them feel fully included.
Nothing was too much for you. You guided us through every detail and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly both for the cremation service and the thanksgiving service a few weeks later. Everyone attending both services has had nothing but praise for how they were run and all the personal touches included, which you incorporated seamlessly. We have never felt rushed in any decisions and you have always had time for us all. We could not recommend your services more highly - thank you.

Absolutely first-class service from Alex. He dealt with every aspect of my sister’s funeral with supreme sensitivity and his attention to detail was outstanding. The day itself went like clockwork as Alex had kept in close touch and planned everything to the last detail. A very safe pair of hands. I’m extremely grateful to Alex for everything he did for us. Highly recommended.

Alexi is kind , compassionate, organised and exceptionally professional. All qualities that are so very much appreciated when navigating a bereavement and organising a funeral . He really does go the extra mile . We felt in very safe hands . There were so many personal touches and our wishes were really catered for . I have no hesitation about recommending him . Thank you for all he did for us at a hard time

Outstanding service from Alexander, every detail was perfect. His ability to handle such an emotional occasion with such a sense of occasion and respect made the day we as a family will never forget. We had the opportunity to make our farewell to our loved one in a way that was dignified and utterly beautiful in every way. Thank you.

Operated with a high level of care, sensitivity and attention to detail, and was always available to answer questions and queries.

My experience with Thornhill Funeral Services has been incredibly positive.

Alexander was always available when I needed him, demonstrating exceptional patience with both myself and my dad. He was supportive, kind, and highly knowledgeable throughout the process.

When I had questions about the various options, he provided clear and concise answers that gave me all the information I needed without any confusion.

Above all, Alexander showed deep respect and understanding for the difficult situation we were facing, as well as for my sister, Irene.

Thank you, Alexander, for everything you have done for Irene and our family during this challenging time. Your compassion and professionalism meant so much to us.

Alex was fantastic. He was not only extremely kind and sensitive but he was also very professional. He responded to our changing circumstances and went above and beyond to provide us with everything we needed. He came out to our house within a hour or two of us contacting him and kept in regular touch with us throughout a long 7 week wait between my Dad dying and the funeral. He arranged everything and nothing was too much trouble. Alex has worked for a North East funeral provider for years and now runs his own company so you get the benefit of years of experience and contacts along with the personal individual touch. A truly bespoke service.

I am especially thankful for the care Alex took of me and the rest of the family over the weeks between my husband's death and his funeral. Without Alex's expertise things would have been much more difficult and stressful. Throughout the process Alex was supportive, wise, patient and extremely helpful. The Funeral and the Thanksgiving services went without a hitch thanks to Alex's kindness and professionalism. I am deeply grateful.

5 Star! Thank you so much Alex Thornhill. Your work is incredible, you made this heartbreaking experience a lot easier. I will forever be recommending you to everyone I know. Thank you for making sure Irene Roozbayani had the most beautiful send off. You were the right person!

Right from the start, we felt so comfortable talking with Alexi. He is very approachable, caring, respectful, and most importantly, he LISTENED to our questions providing honest and transparent responses. Nothing seemed too much trouble or simple. We felt very confident in knowing that Alexi would be fully commited in endeavouring to fulfil the wishes of his clients with bespoke arrangements.
Alexi is extremely professional, polished and demonstrates a breadth of knowledge and experience.
We remain so grateful to Alexi in assisting us to make informed choices in respect of our future funeral arrangements. Thank you.

From start to finish Alex was incredibly professional and his kind and gentle approach shone through. He made arrangements quickly and efficiently which made the process a lot easier for the whole family. He went out of his way to suggest lots of different options, which helped us to consider things we hadn’t previously thought about. The approach felt very personal and it is clear that he is incredibly knowledgeable within his field. We are so grateful for his services- thank you Alex for everything.

Everything went well in a professional, personalised and supportive manner.

Alex was kind & considerate with all family members. He had an exceptional & sensitive eye for detail. Everything was managed with expertise before, during & after the funeral.

We would definitely recommend this funeral service.

The service provided was exemplary and thoroughly professional. Exactly what was needed at a difficult time.

Alex's gifts are quality, his friendly, gentle and personable manner from the moment my dad passed to this very day has been exceptional. Dealing with each of the family solely by himself has put us all at ease, knowing every detail has been covered with an antentive and caring service. I'd certainly recommend Alex & Thornhill Funeral Services to anyone.

The service received from Thornhill’s was outstanding from the first visit through to the last. All of the organisation of my wife’s funeral by Mr Thornhill was carried out in a quiet and highly efficient manner with any questions/queries being anticipated and fully addressed in exemplary fashion. The communication from making the initial arrangements, through to the funeral itself and afterwards, was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for Mr Thornhill. It took all the stress and anxiety of the day away so that we could concentrate wholly on the service itself without being distracted by organisational matters. I would unreservedly recommend Thornhill Funeral Services to anyone who finds themselves in the position of having to arrange a funeral.

It is always difficult to describe such a heartbreaking, painful experience such as organising a funeral for a deeply loved one as 'positive'. However, I can honestly say Alex lightened the huge weight I was carrying, from my initial enquiry right through to personally returning my Dads ashes and wedding ring. I knew from first speaking to Alex he was the right person to take care of my Dad who was looked after with patience compassion and huge respect. As a grieving family, Alex invested time in both myself and my Mum, both on the phone and visiting the house to guide us through the unknown and to make sure everyone's wishes, especially my Dad's, were met. Nothing felt too much trouble to ask or to clarify and we were kept informed at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend Thornhill Funeral Services to anyone who is looking for a personal service where all needs and wishes are accommodated and where there is honesty and transparency. I can not thank Alex enough for making sure my Dads last part of his journey was as he wanted and that he was there to coordinate every aspect. That meant a huge amount to us as a family and made a terribly tough time feel that little bit lighter.
