“Dear Martin,
Thank you so much for your kindness & support when arranging the funeral for my Mum.
Mum never forgot you helpfulness & concern when you arranged the funeral of her husband & we know that she would have been so pleased that you were able to make arrangements for her funeral.
At the time of the loss of a loved one, it is so comforting to have the great support of your genuine compassion & friendship. Furthermore, it is wonderful to be confident that the funeral arrangements will be seamless & the service will be conducted faultlessly.
We are particularly grateful for your great efforts to ensure that the service could take place in such a tight timescale.
Our thanks also go to your family for their great support & genuine concern.”
