Just received my parcel, three bears and a cushion made from my husbands pyjamas. After the tears, which flowed and flowed, all I could do was smile. To say I’m delighted with every piece is an understatement. I’m thrilled and just had to write to say a very big thank you.
Sending all the team there my love and best wishes for a very happy Christmas

On opening them , my memories of my Dad wearing his suit and tie at my wedding and his dress down days of joggers and striped shirts came flooding back . I have shed a tear or two but these bears that you make are just wonderful and I am sure will bring great comfort to my Mum , son and I in the days and years to come

Hi.
I just wanted to let you know that our 14 bears arrived today and to say i am delighted would be an understatement! Wow! They are absolutely incredible. I love every single one of them. So much so, i contemplated keeping them all to myself! I didn’t though and instead have been on the rounds this evening delivering them to my family and everyone is so pleased with how they’ve turned out. They have exceeded our expectations. Our beloved Mum/Nan will always be in our hearts regardless but to have such a special keepsake like this is just wonderful. Thanks to Mark for all of the help with our large order! Nothing was too much trouble and you were very helpful. You clearly have a very talented team of people and myself and my family will be forever grateful that you’ve made us these wonderful bears. I will be sure to recommend you, in fact i may have already drummed up some business for you as a few people have asked for your details! Thanks again.

Hi
Just wanted to say a big Thank-You to you all for the efficient way you handled my order. I wanted both my mum and dad’s clothes to be used together to make 2 memory cushions.1 for me and 1 for my brother who has a special birthday coming up ( 50 ). Also 1 lion and 2 memory bears.
When I sent mum and dad’s clothes I was apprehensive.
Tiller & Co received the clothes on the Tuesday on the following Monday morning my order was delivered. I had requested they send 1 memory cushion and lion to my brothers address which was done and arrived the same day as mine.
I cannot put in words what the cushion means to me and as for the bears they were bigger than expected and the quality and workmanship gone into them was amazing as was the cushion.
Cannot wait for my brother’s birthday to come as the cushion is a gift. Then my niece can have her lion and my son’s can have their bears. There will be tears but they will be happy tears and treasured memories forever.
Thank-You once again

Its difficult to trust an unknown company with items of sentimental value, particularly at such a difficult time. However, from the first phone cal,l to the arrival of my pair of bears, I need not have worried, I felt everything was given the greatest respect and the end result was 2 beautifully made bears. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much Tiller and co.

I had him made from my Dad’s clothing and we were both so overwhelmed at how beautiful he is. He arrived beautifully packaged and I can’t tell you how thrilled we were to receive him so promptly. The past few months have been really tough for us after losing Dad but now we have our bear to love and hold. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts ♥

Hi
So sorry for the delay in sending this.
On behalf of all the family, I just wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for the memory bears. I won’t deny I was somewhat nervous sending dads clothes wondering what we would get in return, but my gosh, those worries were completely unfounded!! It is almost impossible to put into words how amazing the bears are, the workmanship is exceptional and you captured our requirements brilliantly. We all shed a tear on Christmas day when we opened our parcels, they are absolutely perfect in every way, and a wonderful keepsake to treasure memories of dad/grandad/husband/unc and brother in the most fantastic way. You are amazing!
No qualms whatsoever in recommending you at all.
Thank you, again from the bottom of our hearts!

My bear arrived today and I could not be more pleased! A lovely way to remember my mam. A special thank you to tiller&co for going above and beyond to find my contact details when I made the mistake of sending the items of clothing without any form of contact details inside!! Such high quality finish and very good value for money. Would definitely use tiller&co again 🙂

Hi, I just wanted to take the time to let you know how absolutely thrilled I am with the bears that you made from my dads polo shirts. I knew by researching many sites that your work looked by far the best – but to be honest when we opened the boxes we were so stunned by the work and effort put into the bears that we are completely blown away! They have by far exceeded all expectations and I cannot thank you enough- every detail I asked for was done without question and I am truly grateful to you for your fabulous service. I have show our bears to many people and they are all so impressed- what a wonderful company you are and I will continue to sing your praises to all!
Thank you again- your work is much appreciated,
Lorna Smyth.

Thank you so very much for the beautiful bear. My Mum passed away two years ago. My daughter was very close to my Mum and she is now is pregnant with her first childI. I wanted something special to give her when baby is born.. I sent you my Mums favourite dress to make the little bear. I wasn’t sure how it would look because the dress was quite a bold print.. When I opened the box the little bear took my breath away. its incredibly beautiful. More than I had hoped for. Thank you all so very much xx

What an absolutely fantastic company! The service I received from ordering, to updates, to delivery was impeccable. I ordered 6 memory bears for my 6 Grandchildren. The bears are beautifully made with clothing from my late husband. I’m not sure what I expected but they made me cry as I opened each one, as they had been made with such care and to my exact specification. I can’t thank Tiller & co Co enough. My grandchildren will forever have a piece of their Dede (Ganddad) with them .
