It is with great sadness that one of our own , Paul Hergest, who was a great friend, colleague and funeral director sadly passed away suddenly over the weekend.
He was greatly respected amongst the funeral industry and had worked for us for many years and was loved by us all.
He will be sorely missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this sad time.
RIP Paul.
