5 star review My Mumbo has recently passed away and until this happens to you, losing a parent, you cannot begin to fathom the affect that this loss will have on your capabilities to speak, to plan and make the right decisions for their last goodbye... I knew, VERY early on that my Mumbo needed something 'Special' because she was so very special in many many ways! Mumbo was the best florist I've ever seen BUT she never worked as a florist, the 'skill', the 'eye' that you need to have true craftsmanship was inbuilt as it is in Jake! The woman who loves flowers of course collected pots, vases and baskets in every size and shape imaginable!!! This is why when it came to the most important of the saddest choices that needed to be made sat in the office at the Funeral Directors that I shunned the glossy stale album containing images of shiny mahogany and pine boxes, why I further shunned the tri-fold limp leaflet that they thought would appease me of 'apparently contemporary' whicker caskets orange with varnish out of the 70's (excuse me here, I simply cannot type the C word ending in N!) and told the FD to bring up the Sussex Willow website. I'd done my homework and I wasn't to be swayed... 'A Celebration Of Suzie's Life' was MADE by the choice I made in that office! I have never seen anything so beautiful in my life and I know Mumbo would approve wholeheartedly. When buying baskets, of which she had 100's, as a child I was always asked to check through them all to get the best one!! Mumbo's casket from Jake was impeccable! His amazing craftsmanship shone through and through in every detail. Simple yes, my choice of plain Green Willow and stunning in every way possible. The details were beautiful, the closures, there way the casket was sealed with lengths of honed branches... the colour, the smell the pure naturalness of it, EVERYTHING!!! I looked, out of habit, almost without thinking... this was the best one!! Dealing with Jake I have to say was wonderful. He was and still is a calming influence on me. When I called and could barely get any words out, he was kind and supportive. I cannot recommend Sussex Willow enough!!!! I am not one for Reality TV Shows BUT i know they exist! For Jake I would press the 'Golden Buzzer'... Thank you Jake from the bottom of my heart x Suzie's Debs
