  • Cheryl Douglas

    Sharon and her team were second to none. We had attended a family funeral 12 months earlier and were really impressed by the professionalism of the female funeral director (Sharon) on the day. We were also aware of the personal touch she had provided the family along with some good advice whilst discussing options. Therefore we didn’t hesitate to contact E Turnbull & Son Ltd and were not disappointed by the quality of the service and commitment to providing my mam with the best possible send off. We would highly recommend this family run firm, who are experts in their field.
