    As a family we have used J Vernon Kendrick 5 times over the last 6 years and can honestly say the service given, at a very sad time, is second to none. From the office staff to the dedicated team given to you to coordinate your wishes for your loved one, nothing is too much trouble. We would like to mention one person in particular, Dan Kendrick, this gentleman goes above and beyond, his attention to detail is fantastic, even ensuring his staff were wearing a blue tie to match funeral mourners on one occasion. We do not hesitate to highly recommend this family business.

    After several months of sorting out the Will, and Probate I feel like I can now do a review.
    J. Vernon Kendrick Funeral Directors, could not have been more professional or done more .
    It's never easy losing someone, but knowing that all "that stuff" would be handled with care, compassion, and professionally makes the moment less stressful.
    Many thanks to Kevin and his Team who did a "Bostin Job!"
