Michael C. is our angel of all angels on earth and will forever be our best friend for life.

From the moment we unexpectedly and suddenly called him late at night to take care of our beloved, Mick Hall......not only did Michael provide a prompt service, he attentively took care of Mick's and all of our family's needs right until the very end.

Every bespoke request, was fulfilled; Michael and his team ensured that the funeral arrangements, tribute slide show, order of service, wake venue and even letting our dog Samson ride in the family car so that he could accompany his best friend and pawfect Daddy on his final journey was met with love and approval.

In turn, we had the utmost, perfect and beautiful send-off and celebration of life for Mick.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for your time, professionalism, love and care of which, all are truly, truly appreciated.

Love from Sue, Rachael, Mark and family 💙💙💙 xxx

Really difficult to find the words to express how grateful I am for the excellent service received from Carden & Sons following the death of my Husband Allan.
From the moment Michael came though my door he was so thoughtful and considerate. I was not expecting him to arrange everything, (Celebrant, flowers, catering and venue, etc) but he made it all so easy and arranged it all. The little details especially the hugs that I was not expecting made it very personal to me. The Celebrant Jo Raynor was also excellent and everyone commented on how lovely she reflected on Allan's life.
Myself, Family and friends would like to thank Michael and his team for the care of Allan and the excellent service provided with love.

Michael and his team at Cardens and Sons are nothing short of amazing.In the past Michael gave me and my family reassurance when laying my mum to rest. He did the best I could ask for. That's why this time a few years later we chose to return to Michael to lay my dad to rest too and my thoughts this time echo my previous experience. Respectful,kind and went out of his way to do anything and everything he could. If you find yourself in the situation where someone you love has passed Michael and team are the best I can recommend

5 John Costello 15th Jan 2025

Carden and Sons are the most kindest, respectful, thoughtful people you would want to help you through a so sad time. Without Mick and staff I do not know how I would have managed. thank you to all concerned.

From the first contact with Michael, the service has been exemplary.  The care and respect with which they have treated my late brother has been wonderful as well as the compassion and support they have provided to myself.  A wonderful firm.

I can honestly say Michael Carden went above and beyond to help us, our dear Dad passed away just before the Christmas holidays with all the public offices closed down, Michael sorted everything out for us and his help was so appreciated, the service for Dad was beautiful and so respectfully done, our family are so appreciative for all Michael did for us.

5 Anne-Louise Savery 10th Jan 2024

I recently had the difficult task of arranging a funeral service for a loved one, and I must say that the experience with Carden and Sons was exceptional. From the very first call, Michael displayed utmost compassion and professionalism. He listened to my needs and preferences, ensuring every detail was handled with care and respect.
Michael was incredibly supportive, guiding me through the process with patience and understanding. The recommendation for the celebrant Jo Raynor made the service very special, the atmosphere was comforting, offering a sense of peace and closure.
In a time of grief and loss, it's invaluable to have a funeral service that you can rely on to handle things with grace and professionalism. Iam deeply grateful to Carden and Sons and Michael for his exceptional service during my time of need. He went above and beyond to ensure that the final farewell was a fitting tribute.

Thank you for everything 

5 Tom Johnson 26th Sep 2023

Michael Carden was recommended to us by a member of the medical profession and he turned out to be a guy who helped us every inch of the way. He did far more that we could have hoped for. For example there was a problem with the certificate of death from the GP, we almost had to cancel the funeral, but with Michael's help plus the Corner and the Registrar all was saved at the last minute almost.

We would have no hesitation of recommending Carden & Sons to anyone.
