Steven Mears Beckenham were absolutely brilliant when my dad passed away in September last year. It was such a difficult time and extra stressful due to his passing away suddenly whilst on holiday abroad with my mum. During the two months between his passing and the funeral Katie our funeral arranger was brilliant, very helpful, organised and sympathetic. I couldn't recommend her enough.

I cannot thank Katie and the team highly enough for the service we received for my mum’s funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and they made a difficult time much easier. They even took a video of the jazz band, which led mum’s car to the crematorium, whilst stopping the traffic for us.

I wanted to write to thank Becky and her team for the smooth running of my father in law’s funeral on January 9th. Everything went really well and we as a family were very happy with the ceremony. I think Dad would have approved!Thank you again for all your support and help with planning the funeral, it was deeply appreciated at a difficult time.

Dad and I are so grateful for the kindness and patience shown by Angela in organising Mum’s funeral. In these difficult times she helped us every step of the way. I felt that nothing was too much to ask and she explained the process and requirements as sensitively as possible. Tommy the funeral director was courteous and respectful and we were so grateful for the dignity and respect that all of us were shown on the day of the cremation.Thank you so much.
