TESTIMONIALS

‘‘I say to people that Steels are the ‘creme de la creme’. My experience over the last couple of weeks have proved this to be true.’’

“From when you cared for our Dad, nearly fourteen years ago, we knew we were in safe hands, and our experience in making Mums arrangements has only reinforced this. We will always be grateful to you all for your professional and personal attention.”
Chairs

“Having already met you when my father died, and built such a strong bond with you all, it was truly like contacting ‘helpful friends’ when my mother passed away. The overwhelming feeling is that of trust and that all would be well. You are all so supportive and sympathetic in the way that you work. You bring comfort in the most practical ways, you advise and encourage with such gentle understanding.”
