Funerals are never easy to arrange. It's an emotional time. The family all have different opinions and there are costs to be shared. Jenine at the Abbots branch has been fantastic, patient and professional and guided us through this really difficult time. Daniel gave Jason's service such a dignified feel. I can't thank them enough, it didn't matter that it wasn't the most expensive funeral on their books, they still made it special and personal. Thank u so much!

From first contacting M K Ginder & Sons they were professional, polite and courteous. Debra from the Abbots Langley branch arranged everything and was very accommodating on chances I wanted to make and also kind and reassuring. They were great and took away a lot of the stress away during this time. I was kept informed and updated when necessary and on the day of the funeral everything went smoothly.

Over the course of my life I have attended many funerals and the most important element has to be the funeral directors. I have been to two funerals recently and both have been managed by Ginder and Sons. This is undoubtedly a very professional outfit who take time to get it right for the loved ones and friends. Nothing is too much trouble and they ensure you give someone the best send off possible. Highly recommended.

What can I say? The most caring, professional Funeral Directors. Debra made the organising so easy for my dads funeral. Everything was taken care of from flowers. Horses, doves, limos, order of service, bagpiper and everything required for the funeral. I felt so reassured and the stress was taken away from me. On the day of the funeral, every single member of the Ginder team were professional, caring and ensured everything went well. My dad had the best send off and all that attended complimented the professionalism and effort put into this sad day. I can’t thank you enough Ginder & Sons. Kim

Highly recommend Ginder & Sons. We recently used them for my grandma’s funeral, they were extremely professional and helped explain each part of the day which was very reassuring. A special thank you to Adam, we really appreciated his calm and considerate manner which helped put us all at ease. Thank you
