Mrs Thomas, Tavistock
"I write to teel you of the many accolades people have made about Arthur’s funeral. There is universal agreement that the afternoon ran smoothly, and we gave him the good and memorable send off he deserved. The weather helped (the committal was particularly moving with the bright sunshine, a rare calm and much birdsong) but we are all in agreement that much of the credit goes to your sage advice and good work in the background.
I know helping the bereaved is your business, but you have been particularly skilled in helping the planning of Arthurs funeral with those who were closest to him. Lucie’s swift response to my emails was valued. On the day, Simon’s calm and timely guidance was welcome. His whispered and discrete instructions to the pall bearers was particularly appreciated and enabled them to provide a professional looking personal service to Arthur. They were all honoured to have the role.
Dartmoor is emptier without Arthur, but you have helped us mark his passing in a memorable and fitting tribute to the place he occupied amongst us.
We are truly grateful."
The Executors, Princetown

As you will well appreciate these are emotional and challenging times for families, but we always felt we were in safe hands and secure in the knowledge that the arrangements would meet our expectations.
Thank you all once again for your service, courtesy, and compassion."

"On behalf of the family I would like to say a heartfelt “Thank you" to you and the other members of staff involved in the arrangements for our mother’s funeral. We felt you organised everything beforehand - and conducted us through the day - with great sensitivity and empathy. We all said afterwards that we could not have hoped for a better farewell to our mother. The work you and your colleagues put into the arrangements are largely responsible for the very positive memories of the day that we will draw on in the future."
The Nicholls Family, Yelverton

The Sherrell Family, Tavistock
“I am writing to thank you, Lucie and everyone at Morris Bros for the beautiful way in which you helped me through the loss of my dear Husband, Ron and arranged his funeral. From the arrival of your two gentlemen immediately after his death, through the funeral arrangements, to the funeral itself, everything was done quietly, efficiently, actually perfectly. I do not believe any other company could have done this better. As a family we all felt that you did everything to ensure that Ron had the funeral he would have wanted and it was certainly everything we wanted. You and all your staff are such kind, caring people and the service you gave was exceptional. I cannot thank you enough”

The Knight Family, Princetown.
“My family has recently used the services of Morris Bros Tavistock as we have just had the funeral service for our elderly mother. We had our own special requirements and this lovely family business could not have been more accommodating. In particular along with my three brothers and two of our sons we wished to carry our mother from the church possibly a risky strategy but under the careful and professional tutorage of Simon Luke, our 'coffin drills went without a hitch'. He enabled us to have a rehearsal and guided us through the whole process with great skill; throughout he was a supportive and delightfully calming influence. Every point of detail throughout the preparation process leading up to the funeral was handled with sympathy, compassion and precise attention to detail. Our big family could not have been more delighted with the way our special if sad day was handled. We recommend Morris Bros without reservation as a thoroughly professional and well organised Undertaker who looked after our every need. We are so grateful”.
Mr Rory Steevenson, Tavistock.
