An excellent service from a kind and compassionate team of people, at the most difficult of times. I highly recommend this company, Karen and Fearn were brilliant helping with the organisation and Kim, Eric and the team on the day, did us all proud. Thank you all so much for helping me and my family and taking care of my beloved sister.

I cannot thank Rik enough for the professional caring attitude and support following the passing of my wife. From start to finish his only concern was for me and making sure all of my late wife's wishes were meet. I would not only recommend them to others that need there services, but have also instructed my family that I wish them to lay me rest when the time comes.

Karan at Bearsted made a most traumatic time less stressful with her calm professional manner. She handle us with care, compassion and kindness. The arrangements for our loved one to be brought home until the funeral, was done with dignity and grace. We really cannot thank Karan and her team enough. From the initial meeting to the service they were on hand to help and advise and helped us to make decisions when we were all very upset. This is a business that treats people with care and compassion and looks after them as individuals.... Many thanks, we could not have had a better organised, dignified send off for our loved one

I used this company's Bearsted office to arrange my father's funeral. I had never been involved in funeral arrangements previously. The staff made everything simple and straightforward for me and my family. Dignity underpinned all their work. I could not have been more impressed
