John & I founded Sunnyfields in 1998 with a vision of providing a caring, sympathetic and dignified service to you and your loved one at such a sad time, we wanted to offer comfort to you in your loss and heartache and offer a feeling of care and empathy.
To provide a completely different cremation service, to go over and above the norm, not only in the amount of time we give to people but hopefully in the warmth you feel from us when you visit or call us. This care starts from the moment you contact us, we spend as much time with you as you need and guide you through every stage until your loved one is back home with you, and into the future as we always welcome and encourage people to stay in contact, visit us to remember their friend or if they just wish to talk
