    BJ Melia have looked after 6 family members over 30+ years, the most recent during December 2023. They are extremely professional, tactful, kind and patient, listen to the family and take you through all the steps carefully at a difficult time. Being able to confidently entrust loved ones to their care helped has made things much less distressing.
