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.

Highly recommend this company. The staff are so professional but more than that..... they are compassionate and definitely go way beyond just doing ‘a job’. Kim has been truly fantastic and so kind. They always went above and beyond - their support and understanding is amazing. A mere thank you is really not enough.

Nothing was too much trouble. Very organised and informative. Special thanks to Jo who guided me through everything. Thank you all so much for your kindness and quiet efficiency at this very sad time for myself and my family. Would highly recommend family funerals.

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

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

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

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.

A note for Rik Moore at Family Funeral Service Barming

Dear Karan

We cannot find the words to express our gratitude to you and your staff for the care we received in dealing with M’s funeral.

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.

We certainly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your company in the future and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Yours

To Karan & Staff

Dear Karan,

Thank you for all your care, your compassion, your time, your listening ear, your patience, and most of all for your understanding of me as a wife grieving for the most precious man in my life. You went above and beyond for us as a family and most of all you always made sure we could spend as much time with A as possible and that kindness will stay with me forever. A was in the best possible care with yourselves and your professionalism on the day of the funeral was outstanding, to me there are Angels on earth and along with the hospice, you are one of those Angels, thank you will never be enough.

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

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......

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
