I have used Bernard Kenney and Daughter on several occasions. They are very professional and efficient. Diane is a lovely lady to get on with and often goes above and beyond. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is done to a high standard. An excellent service.

  • 5 John Hibbert 31st Mar 2023

    My mum lived until 108 years old and when she passed away we needed guidance on how to organise her funeral.
    A very dear friend of ours recommended Bernard and his daughter following his Mothers death.
    We were so pleased that he did.
    Dianne and her team were so kind and helpful and ensured that everything mum wished for was granted.
    They are very respectful and everything went like clockwork.
    There is a lot more to organising a funeral nowadays then we realised.
    Also the charges for their services are very fair.
    You are dealing with the people who run the business direct and nothing is too much trouble.
    In difficult times they are the people to go to.
    Thank you so much Dianne and your team.
    You did a wonderful Job xxxx

    Kind regards John and Avril Hibbert
