James Harper is local to me and we’re extremely helpful in dealing with all issues relating to my wife’s funeral. Claire, with whom we had most dealings was able to put us in touch with a celebrant for the service and a florist and dealt with most issues instantly, all of which helped to take the stress out of the situation. On the day of the funeral everything went very smoothly, my family and I could not fault James Harper in any way.
