However I can assure you that when it comes to caring for people, Martyn is the man for the job. When you first meet Martyn you will immediately notice just how tall he is, a lofty 6ft 7 inches. A formidable character indeed, however you will feel completely at ease with Martyn as he guides you through the process of dealing with your affairs when it comes to arranging a funeral for your loved one. Those 50 years’ experience has taught Martyn all he needs to know about every aspect of procedures from caring for the deceased to conducting a funeral and so much more which, ultimately will give you the confidence you need to face one of the most challenging times of your life.
