Thank you giving us clear guidance and support following the passing our my dad. Kevin and the team were all kind and caring, and looked after us. They helped us make dad's funeral a celebration of his life

There are no words really that can put across just how wonderful all of the team are at Kendrick’s, Tony, Dave and all those who looked after my dad since his passing and helped ensure his funeral was everything we hoped it would be and more, I would also like to thank Lisa and Andy from the printing team who brought the vision to life for Dad’s order of service - they offered a really personal and bespoke service.

  • 5 Alexander Fojan 27th Jul 2024

    The person that i dealt with for most of my arrangements was Kevin, he was very understanding and very sympathetic to what we were going through with the loss of my mother. Funerals are not the nicest of occasions but Kevin and the rest of the team made it as easy and as comfortable as it could have been. I hope i don't have to but i would have no hesitation in recommending J.V.K. to anyone.
