    If you are looking for funeral directors to lead you through the toughest times of your life with empathy, help, kindness and guidance then these are the people you need to be with.   We can’t recommend highly enough   They were respectful, considerate, had a great sense of humour and totally put us at ease in a situation we felt completely out of our depth with.    We felt like Dad was in the best hands possible and were so grateful for all their help. 

  • 5 Ruth Speed 14th Mar 2023

    Lovely family firm. Diane made a difficult time much more bearable. Always available, very professional    and genuinely caring. We would recommend Bernard Kenney and Daughter 100%. Diane made sure everything ran smoothly and sorted everything out for us. 

  • 5 Jennifer Robinson 13th Mar 2023

    I can’t thank Dianne, Phil and all the team enough for their wonderful care and attention to every detail. We were treated like family which made the whole process more bearable. The day of the funeral ran like clockwork we were not rushed but allowed enough time between church and crem to speak to all that attended. Thanks so much for all that you did it is greatly appreciated by all the family 

  • 5 Les Morton 9th Mar 2023

    Dianne and her team were excellent throughout, so professional, helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. She called at the house several times and phoned on numerous occasions, organised pretty much everything for us, cannot fault her.

  • 5 Karen Scott 6th Dec 2022

    We can not thank Diane, Phil and the team enough for the care, love and personal attention they gave our family after the loss of our beautiful mum - they were extremely professional but very approachable and ‘normal’ nothing was to much trouble and no question was ever to small to ask -tney treated mum with the greatest  of care and dignity and made a very difficult, distressing, upsetting time easier for us all as a family to cope with - we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this amazing family company  to others

  • 5 Fiona Holland 3rd Oct 2022

    Excellent personal and compassionate care from Dianne and the team. I would highly recommend them to look after you at what is an emotional time. Dianne is very empathetic and also professional. The funeral went smoothly and was a great send off for my Dad. Their help in making this happen was a huge part of it. Dianne guess the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy and communicates well with the family. 

  • 5 Sally Beal 3rd Oct 2022

    Absolutely fantastic service from Dianne and Phill, they made a stressful time so much easier and we provided Dad with a funeral service that was just so personal. Nothing was too much trouble, thank you so much Dianne & Phill

  • 5 Carol White 3rd Oct 2022

    I would always be more than happy to recommend Bernard Kennedy & Daughter. Genuine care and compassion shown throughout at a hugely distressing time, and we gave mum her funeral and did it our way with all the help we needed. Mums ashes were back at home with us the following day.
    I looked into another alternative seen on TV due to our circumstances, prior to using Bernard and Dianne. When I found out how they went about their business and how our lovely mum would have been dealt with, there was no way we were using them.

  • 5 Moira Kean 7th Sep 2022

    If Carlsberg were to design a funeral director, it would be Dianne. From first to last, she guided us through the process, always bearing our needs in mind. We did ask for some unorthodox things and she was always happy to make them happen. Thank you Dianne.
