What Our Customers Say
“The staff will always go the extra mile to obtain special furniture and fittings for the coffins, if these need to be bought in from outside of the Jukes Group. Also, with the Group having a soft furnishings outlet too, has been a great help, when we have needed special-coloured interiors.”
L T & R Vowles
