I want to give a big shout out to Jenny and her fantastic customer service. I was stressed my floral tribute to my partner, Jack wasn't going to be delivered. Bless her she resolved for me by speaking to the florist and following up saying they had arrived. Thank You, Jenny!

I am so grateful to all the staff at Bexley Funeral Services for the supportive, sympathetic manner in which you helped me get through a particularly difficult period. From start to finish you listened to me and made me feel that nothing was impossible. When I needed to check some details, you made time for me. Thank you for everything and for being the “safe pair of hands” that I needed while entrusting my Sister into your care. The whole process was well managed by a professional and caring team. I could not be more grateful. Thanks.

I would highly recommend Bexley funeral service. We dealt with 2 ladies called Jackie & Claire who were both fantastic, very professional & very kind to my dad who has dementia, so found the whole experience of losing his wife very traumatic. Matthew was in charge of the funeral on the day & was absolutely brilliant along with the other drivers & ushers. The whole experience was made easier with these kind people. Thank you all so much Karen White
