From the moment we made the phone call …to saying good bye ,the service and care that was shown and given to my dad and all the family was above and beyond. They cared and comforted us all the way, kept us up to date and was there for us 24/7 if we had any questions.and helped in anyway they could ,nothing was too much trouble .they arranged everything that needed to be done which ment so much at a time none of us could think straight. They cared for my dad like he was their own which made a really hard time more bearable , we are so greatful and can not thank them enough for everything: We would recommend Bernard Kenney & Daughter Funeral Service to anyone that wants that extra care for their loved ones they have lost. With out a doubt we will use them again.

Dianne and her team were everything we needed. She was very professional but also friendly and accommodating. We can’t recommend her too highly. 

Linda Grooby 18th Sep 2024

My Dad passed away 220 miles away from where I live And where he wanted to be buried. There was a lengthy wait on the decision of an autopsy before we could get him back here. Dianne looked after everything. Bringing him home as soon possible and arranging the funeral. We trust her to look after everything and us. She has done 3 funeral for us lately. We recommend her without any reservations

    Amazing team,
    They were very supportive during a difficult time, they had all the information and knowledge plus experience, which helped everything run smoothly from start to finish.
    Nothing was too much trouble, they were able to deal with everything for us and help to guide us.
    We would highly recommend their service to anyone else, they helped with all aspects from sorting flowers, order of service, burial planning etc.
    Friendly polite staff, very professional.

    Such a compassionate and professional service from Dianne and the team. Everything was made so simple and easy at such a difficult time for the whole family. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to remember our Mum. 

  • 5 Neil Ferriday 18th Sep 2024

    Diane has been brilliant in organising both my dad and mums funerals. Nothing is every too much trouble.
    The thing we liked most about her was that she knew exactly the right balance between sombre and light-hearted. After all, a funeral has a place for both laughter and tears.
    Thanks once again Di

    Dianne handled all transport and funeral arrangements for our late daughter Sophie. It was a difficult death under nasty circumstances. Dianne took care of everything with great dignity, efficiency and sensitivity. We couldn’t have asked for better or kinder service through a difficult time of our lives. We can’t imagine using any other undertaker and have no hesitation in give her and her team the highest praise and endorsement possible.
