Reviews
Caledonia Cremation were so helpful and kind throughout the process, I really appreciated their calls and how well they kept me informed at such an awful time. Thanks to Emma, Storm and the whole team, mum would have been so pleased.
Caledonia Cremation were so helpful when we used them. Emma who was helping us was kind and understanding. She helped with all the stuff we had to do.
I cannot sing Caledonia Cremations praises high enough. From start to finish they were perfect. Every member of staff was super-efficient; exceptionally helpful; and their compassion, empathy and sympathy is simply remarkable.
Excellent, professional service .Have used this company for both my parents cremations and can't recommend them highly enough. Emma is a star and will go out her way to help you with anything and genuinely cares . Would give more stars if I could.
