My husband did not want a 'conventional funeral' or any kind of memorial, he simply wanted a funeral director to remove him from his death bed and arrange his unpublicised cremation as convenient. There were to be no flowers, no church service, no 'wake'. The Family Funeral Service complied with all his wishes, even down to not notifying me of any arrangements until they were all completed. Towards the end of his life, he asked me to bury his ashes and these were returned to me as requested. I was given the advice I needed and he was given the simplicity he had asked for. I have since recommended these funeral directors to a friend who asked where she could find a company who would do the same thing for her.

Wonderful service throughout. Professional, friendly, courteous and the outmost respect shown throughout. Totally trusted them to fulfill all of our wishes and the day could not have been a more fitting tribute to our dear mum. They made her look beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble. Would not hesitate in recommending. Thank you so so much. Tracie Lawrence

I would highly recommend FFS. The experience from the initial meeting planning my Dad's funeral, the actual service and interment of Dad's ashes was first class. The staff were all extremely kind, thoughtful and delivered a wonderful service. FFS also looked after my Mum's funeral a few years earlier and again were excellent providing much comfort to my Dad at the time. My Dad was very fond of Michael and the team and would have been touched that he was able to look after the funeral on the day and interment. Thank you to the team once again. Paul and family.

We experienced an absolutely outstanding level of service from Jo and her team. Sympathetic and exceedingly efficient, Jo lifted a huge weight from our shoulders as she went about making the necessary arrangements and went above and beyond to accommodate our less-than-straightforward requirements for the service. Jo and the rest of the team at the Family Funeral Service provided an immensely kind, considerate, and supportive service throughout this devastating process and we honestly can't recommend them highly enough.

Jo made a difficult time a lot easier with her friendly yet professional manner. Sitting down in the quiet room with a cup of tea to go through all the details. Sorting the transfer from hospital morgue to Headcorn. Getting me sorted with the team of bearers to help carry the coffin into the church. All these things meant so much and were done so well. Recommended without reservation. Thanks again to Jo and her team.

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.

Your compassion and thoughtful efficiency were second to none. Northing was too much trouble and your patience allowed us to go at our own pace at a time when we were really struggling.

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

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
