Bernard and Diane made a very emotional time as stress free as possible. I wouldn’t hesitate and often have, recommended their services. Should you want your loved ones cared for, as you would yourself, with a gentle, personal touch, you should look no further.

Diane Thurston 24th Apr 2019

Excellent service. Couldn't of asked for any better, Bernard and Dianne were fabulous from start to finish and such lovely people, made things much easier at such a difficult time.

    After the devestating loss of my mother, who was very big part of my family’s life and left a very big hole in our lives, when all you want to do is lock yourself away, Bernard Kenney and family were amazing.  They took away the stresses of organising the funeral arrangements and advised us of the things that we needed to do,  They are such a caring family and we’re there for us whenever we needed their support, thankyou so much x

    I First came in to contact with Bernard and Diane Kenney just after the passing of my Cousin Luke. Obviously at times like these emotions are high and times are extremely difficult on so many levels. Bernard and Diane excelled in managing all our family dynamics and the organisation of the funeral. Their skills are truly wonderful. They made sure other professional services involved worked together. Every detail was noticed and made the arrangements so much smoother and easier at this awful time. They worked in a professional manner at all times. Ensuring we got the funeral service we wanted for our loved one. Nothing was too much, they worked day and night and kept in contact the whole time. They work ethically at all times. I would recommend them to anyone needed this service. They were brilliant and bought me much comfort that I needed. I can not say how professional and truly brilliant they were!! Tara Mallinson
