Kelly was wonderful guiding us through this unknown process at such a difficult time. She was welcoming, professional, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Most of all she was so kind and caring. We knew Dad was being looked after. We can’t thank her enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I can only say that Kelly at Belvedere did everything in her power to make this awful journey bearable. Her compassion, empathy and understanding of how people feel at this time is shown time and time again. She is so in the right job. Also must also praise Donna and her team again for empathy and compassion shown on the day of the funeral. Donna in particular for guiding my daughter in carrying her grandad. They are all a credit to themselves and their company. Would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I couldn’t have felt more at ease with the arrangements for my Dad’s funeral. I must first mention Kelly, the funeral arranger, an incredible person who manages to balance the highest level of professionalism with empathy, kindness and compassion. I felt like I was with a friend, which is exactly what I needed at an extremely difficult time in life. I made the decision to see Dad, after a lot of thought, and I made the right one - the embalming team did a wonderful job and it felt so natural to be with Dad. On the day itself, Donna, the funeral director, was amazing and carried out her role with such dignity and respect, but with love and kindness, too. Thank you so much to Kelly and the rest of the team, I will never forget how brilliant you are.
