We pride ourselves on building strong, long-lasting relationships with our clients

"Having acquired a field littered with building materials and general debris, we appointed CDS as project managers, to lead us on the journey to construct a cemetery complete with a utility building. We were up against an eighteen month deadline as our current cemetery was close to being full to capacity. CDS’s knowledge and expertise has been executed with professionalism, attention to detail, within the target date and with excellent value for money; they have always been approachable and on-hand to answer any questions I have raised often out of office hours, when Council meetings take place. I can absolutely recommend CDS for your cemetery build."

Catherine Voyce, Town Manager, Syston Town Council

"Entering into a project to develop a new cemetery is rather complicated and a very daunting process. CDS have made the journey to date so easy and taken the pressure off the Town Council by undertaking the technical work that the Council will be presenting to the EA. CDS’s initial assessment has set us off with confidence and we look forward to working with them throughout the project. Knowing that the company will support us until the Cemetery is completed is very comforting."

Steven Trice, Town Clerk, Haywards Heath Town Council

“I have and will continue to work with CDS with great pleasure. CDS have a great understanding of what is required in any given task and have transferred basic thoughts and ideas into reality. The team are professional, constructive, clear and above all very nice to work with…I would be happy to recommend CDS for any aspect of work they feel suited to take on.”

S Holloway, Islington & Camden Cemetery Services

"CDS were appointed by Dereham TC to establish a potential new site for a new cemetery. CDS were able to demonstrate the depth and extent of subject knowledge with their team of engineers, designers and hydrologists and were able to develop a short list of sites for a new cemetery. They were always prepared to go the extra mile to guide us through the complexities of site selection and the Environmental constraints. Their systematic and pragmatic approach meant that the final site selected was completed with the minimum of fuss. We have finally ended up with a site that we are now operating as a cemetery that our public and community can enjoy. I would be happy to recommend CDS for cemetery development projects."

Tony Needham, Town Clerk, Dereham Town Council

“CDS developed a discreet, cost effective solution to our ground water difficulties and stopped a significant problem becoming a major issue. The solution has coped faultlessly since installed even throughout the recent periods of excessive rainfall.”

Kevin Pilkington, Head of Bereavement Services, Croydon
