Since the loss of our dear and darling Mummy in 2003, we have had a Garden Vault Memorial for her. We moved to the North West a number of years ago and the Office Administration Team have been absolutely brilliant in helping us maintain this very special form of remembering our wonderful Mummy Palma. In particular, Jean Tucker the Memorials Administrator has shown us such compassion, consideration and made us feel incredibly reassured that whenever or for whatever occasion, our Palma is always remembered with beautiful flowers etc thus easing our pain and sadness. Thank you is simply not enough, and it is all too easy to be forgotten once the funeral and arrangements have been made and gone....but we could not wish for our Mummy to rest in more graceful and...

They cremated my Mum by Direct Cremation through the Co-op. She was cremated on the Monday and we'd paid for a courier to bring us the ashes (the only option available to us). 5 days later we were still waiting so I rang the crematorium. At first they couldn't find anything for my Mum, when eventually they located her details, they advised that they were waiting for the Co-op to arrange the Courier. Spoke to the Co-op who stated that they never do this, it is down to the Crematorium to sort. We have a special church service taking place in 2 days to inter my Mum's ashes!! I would never use Golders Green Crematorium again. They are now saying that it takes 28 days to courier the ashes!!!! Really?? You can fly to the other side of the world...
