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

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.

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.

Karan and all at Family Funerals in Bearsted provided an outstanding service for us.

They took a huge weight off our minds at a very difficult time. Staff were always kind, compassionate and professional.

Nothing was too much trouble. The result was a perfect funeral service for our father.

We really appreciated the care and support they gave our mother too. She has significant mobility problems, and Karan and colleagues went above and beyond to ensure Mum had suitable transport to attend the service, wake and interment.

Karan and co, we can’t thank you enough and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your service

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 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 Family Funeral Services enough. We first used their services in October 2017 for my Auntie's funeral. Kim and Jo were so kind, supportive and understanding, helping us all through this difficult time. An extremely professional and compassionate service. Recently after the loss of our Mum, we used Family Funeral Services again. Once again we received excellent service. Michael helped us plan the day, and gave us guidance and ideas that we would not have necessarily thought of at such a difficult and sad time. Also, reassuring us, when we double/triple -checked arrangements by phone and emails (often out of Office hours). The Funeral was very special and unique for our lovely Mum. Thank you.

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.

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

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

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
