Wayne and Chris done an amazing job of helping us to honour Dad. From the moment Thompsons Funeral Directors entered the picture there was a path forward at a time when it is hard to think and function they both helped to make sense while also adhering to Dads individuality and each person's POV. On behalf of us all we can't thank you both enough.

An amazing job done with dad's funeral. All our expectations exceeded. It was beautiful, so much attention to detail. We didn't know where to begin, it was so sudden. Thompson funerals made everything easy. Thank you. Love, Yolande and family
