Downgrading our funeral plans was made…

Downgrading our funeral plans was made straightforward.The Staff members were very helpful and took time to ensure we were happy and understood the process, including the period where we could change our minds . Although we were not looking forward to dealing with funeral plans having been through a family trauma nothing more could have been done by Golden Leaves to give us solace.Thsnk you!

A very positive experience

Our plan wasn't quite the 'run of the mill' kind as it involved several people and quite a specific set of requirements.
Golden Leaves did all they could to make it easy for us, making this a relatively pain free experience. We were very surprised that it was so easy.
The only reason we haven't given 5 stars is purely down to an admin error but as we have said, it is a rather complex set of requirements so we can forgive that.

Doing it my way

It was important to me to make my own funeral arrangements and not feel under any pressure.From the moment I met the lady in the funeral directors to completing on the policy, I felt listened too and that they really understood my needs. I am relieved that I have made my plans and that my family will not have to worry when the time comes.

Very satisfactory service

Very satisfactory service. Well explained. It is/was a good idea to sort this to my own desires. Hopefully it will save my children some money. Of course, I will not be around for the proof that all worked out as planned.

Initial Administration

We visited Angel Guardians and were interviewed by Maureen Watt. She fully explained how the scheme worked and answered all our questions.
We would like to have received a small plastic card with details of whom to call on the passing of one of us. Other than that, everything was very straight forward and efficient.
