Family Funeral Service bearsted provided an outstanding service for our mother. Michael, Kim and their staff were very helpful in guiding us in the whole process. They helped us from collecting mum from the hospital to her final moments at the crematorium, thank you all so much for all you have done to make the time go smoothly.

I wish to thank Michael Lawrence, Managing Director of Family Funeral Service, & all the members of his Team at their new Headcorn Branch, for enabling my brother's Funeral Service at Charing Crematorium last week to be so memorable, moving & sublime At every stage, the friendly staff were kind, courteous, sensitive & efficient, happily accommodating all our special requests & bringing the lovely Ceremony to a smooth & gentle conclusion on the day. This was no mean feat, given that they had only eight full days to complete all the arrangements. Without exception, each person was magnificent in achieving their own part in the procedure, making our family's bereavement that much easier to cope with. We could not have asked for better care or attention to detail & we will be forever grateful to the Family Funeral Service, especially to the members of the Headcorn office, for leaving us with such good memories.

I cannot recommend this company more highly. Tara and her staff at the Headcorn office could not have been any more professional and caring. The advice and support offered was superb and always given with compassion and great sensitivity. It really means the world when you know that you and your loved one is being cared for with such kindness and warmth. I want to personally thank Tara for all the care and thoughtfulness she showed to both me and my family.

Thank you so much for your help and kind attention in arranging mum’s funeral. You made it all so much less stressful for us even when we had to postpone it. A funeral during covid times is not what we would have wanted but it went very well thanks to you.

To Karan and all the Family Funeral team, Thank you for the great funeral service you gave B, enjoy your chocolates! love from D, P & V

To Karan and all the Family Funeral team

A very big, heartfelt thank you to you, Fearn and all the other FFS staff who helped in so many ways with mum’s funeral arrangements. Your kindness and understanding were amazing, not to mention your patience in dealing with my rather precise requirements for the order of service! Many thanks also to the bearers on the day who carry out their work with such dignity. Ted and Christian deserve a special mention for their kind and considerate attitude on the night that mum died, but also for their helping me to carry in refreshments before the funeral! You all deserve a lot of praise in carrying on Michael’s good work, I’m sure he is proud of you all. With best wishes SC

Dear Karan

Dear Karan The family would like to thank you and your team so much for the way you handled A’s funeral. You took care of every detail – down to the impressive way you made the lorry back up just as we were leaving the church approach! The ushers were seriously respectful and the way you managed the guests – before, during and after the service was calm and assured. We felt very ‘looked after’. Thank you so much, V, S and A

Dear Karan

Dear Karan and the Family Funeral Service, Thank you for your support and care given to our family in this very sad times. We can not say enough how much we appreciate taking care of A for us. Knowing you can sort everything needed for his beautiful funeral service gave us peace. Everything was beautiful and we felt safe to trust such an important day with you. Best regards A, A, A, A

Thank you

Dear Karan I am writing to say, once again, thank you for the kindness and consideration shown to me during a very difficult time. Losing my nephew was not only a shock but also it happened so very quickly, I was living in a daze and to know I had you there for me was a real comfort. I have never had to do something like this before alone and having you to guide me made it a lot easier. Thank you, kind regards ST

I am writing to say......

To Karan and the Family Funeral Service A little note to say you have done a fantastic job for my late husband’s memorial service in this difficult time. On behalf of our family we wish to thank you for your professional services during our time of loss. We look forward to a lasting friendship. Kind regards HS

A BIG thank you
