Thankyou so much for your professionalism and respectfulness in all aspects of my mums death and up to and including the service. Really appreciated Adam’s communication skills and personal touch. Kind regards Kristian Russell

Such an amazing organisation to deal with at the most difficult time that anyone has to go through. Adam, who supported us through everything, was amazing and so considerate with what we were all going through. The Folkestone team oversaw everything and nothing was too much trouble. They made us feel at ease, no pressure and they supported us in everything we wanted to do. Whilst no one wants to have to engage with an undertaker, we all will at some point in our lives, but when it comes finding an organisation to support you, I would throughly recommend Farriers & Son in Folkestone and in particular Adam. Thank you from all of us
