Family funeral service provided the cars for our wedding and we couldn't be happier. The drivers were professional and did everything they could to make our day very special

At a time when you are so emotionally drained and upset, we were all treated with such kindness, my late husband was treated with respect when they came to transport to the chapel of rest. Tara made myself and my son‘s so welcome and thoroughly explained everything from start to finish, always pausing for any questions or if we needed time to think, we weren’t rushed or pressured into anything and helping us to come to the right decision when it all seemed too difficult. Every detail we made was followed on the day of the funeral and having a hug made all the difference. Thank you x

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.

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.

A lovely business, showing real passion at a most difficult time. No ask was too great. Very accommodating with timings and the advice was excellent. The whole process was nicely done. Throughly reccomended.

I would just like to thank Michael and the team for all of their support in organising my father's funeral. We did not know how to approach it but after the first meeting, most things were agreed and a small list of queries remained. They treated the whole family with the right approach of care and compassion before and during the day and dealt efficiently with our queries and change of minds. Very professional approach to deal with a difficult day and I thoroughly recommend them. Thank you.

Grateful thanks to Jo and her team for picking up the pieces and managing to calmly arrange everything in such a calm and dignified way. You were so friendly, helpful and efficient it really set our minds at rest. Your recommendations for the celebrant and florist were superb. From the moment we walked through the door we knew were in safe hands. The whole celebration of our Aunts life was moving and memorable.

Thank you so much or all your help to me and the family over the past few years, you made everything a lot easier to deal with.

Dear Jo

Dear Karan,

I’m sorry it has taken me so long to say a big “thank you” to you and the team at Bearsted. From our first contact you have been patient, compassionate, professional and understanding.

I know that P would have been very happy with everything. Everyone that I spoke to agreed that it was a lovely funeral. I’m really grateful that with your help, we were able to give P the send of that he would have approved of and deserved.

I do hope you had a break over Christmas (though your work is constant, I’m sure), and that it isn’t a busy as last years post- Christmas time.

Stay well and all the best for 2022.

Best wishes from GJ and family

Dear Karan

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

Dear Rik

The family and I would like to say thank you to you and your team for the support and guidance you all so kindly showed us right from the very beginning.

On the day of the funeral service your patience and professionalism came through and made the day bearable.

Our mum really appreciated all you did for us in the smooth running of the day and we would certainly recommend you and your team to others.

Kind regards

D & D

Dear Rik

To Karan and the Team,

Thank you so much for all your help in arranging D’s funeral. The day was overwhelming with the number of people who attended and we really appreciated how you ‘herded’ as many people as possible in the chapel with the overflow outside.

You really made a very sad day run smoothly.

Thank you once again.

To Karan and the Team

Dear Mr Lawrence,

I would just like to thank you for all the care and consideration I have been given since my husband RH passed away.

I have dealt with Karen Le Quelenec on all occasions and I have to say that nothing has been too much trouble for her. She has been so helpful.

When we initially came to see Karan she dealt with us so sympathetically. I have had experience of another Funeral Directors in Maidstone where I had to sit through (what seemed like hours) of up-selling of coffins, and handles, which I found extremely stressful. There was none of that with Karan – she dealt with that side of things swiftly.

When I came to see Richard, he was draped in a lovely velvet blanket in a beautiful room. Rather than a previous experience of a dingy room and a dirty net curtain draped over the deceased.

Thank you so much. I would always recommend you.

Yours sincerely

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

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
