Verna Hallam 29th Sep 2021

A very professional and caring service from Bernard, Dianne & co. They went above and beyond their duty to make my late sister's passing smooth and stress free as possible. I would certainly highly recommend them to anyone needing this service.

    This is the first time I have had to use the Services of Funeral Director. I have to say Dianne and team were very helpful, regularly in touch and patient.

  • 5 Jennifer Robinson 31st Jan 2021

    Bernard and Dianne did a fantastic job they treated us like family. They provided guidance but allowed us to do things just as we wanted. Despite COVID restrictions we had the funeral my Dad had wished for and you can’t ask for more than that. Only having immediate family made it a very special occasion. My mum, sister and I can’t thank you enough. 

  • 5 Larry Zamirski 9th Jan 2021

    An amazing job done by Bernard and Dianne all staff are very kind and thoughtful.
    It was a difficult time with covid but they looked after me through every stage.If you need them the phone is answered in seconds. I couldn't have wished for any one else to take care of Mother they did.

    They are the best ever. THANK YOU .Bernard Kenny and Daughter.

  • 5 Josh Joyce 7th Jan 2021

    Mr Kenny and Ms Kenny could not have been more helpful, compassionate and thoughtful if they’d tried.  I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and their help with the service, from the first phone call to the last they were always courteous and polite.  Thank you, you made a hard enough situation in more difficult times run so smoothly, it was more than very much appreciated.

  • 5 Anne Gilman 6th Jan 2021

    Mr Kenney and his daughter both went the extra mile to ensure that my mothers funeral was the best that she could have within the Covid Rules. On the day of her funeral,despite heavy snowfall and blocked roads Mr Kenny ensured that my mother arrived at Burbage Church on time together with a replacement vicar as the original vicar was stuck in   Tideswell. Mr Kenny has many years of experience in his profession and we have been very grateful to him and his daughter for their  guidance and regular updates from the moment we first contact him. 

  • 5 Judith Pickering 5th Jan 2021

    Extremely helpful and efficient. Very friendly and ensured that everything went smoothly.

  • 4 Ruth Boundy 5th Jan 2021

    Very friendly, sensitive  and approachable staff. Staff took a lot of stress out of organising Phil’s service. 

  • 5 Margaret Holford 5th Jan 2021

    Simply put, Bernard and Diane made a really difficult time bearable. Not only were we having to cope with the death of someone we loved, we were having to do so through the added dangers of a COVID-19 epidemic.

    As a family, we have nothing but praise for the care and concern shown to us by every member of the team. We will be forever grateful.

  • 5 Michael Lawton 5th Jan 2021

    Bernard and Dianne gave a very Kind, careing service. A familly firm, nothing was too much trouble. We've used them twice, and would'nt think of not doing so in the future. Oh, and the prices were very fair as well

  • 5 Melanie Royle 4th Jan 2021

    Very thoughtful and caring attention to detail.  Discussed all aspects of the arrangements with me  in a thoughtful and considerate way. 

  • 5 Doris Higginbotham 4th Jan 2021

    Both Bernard and his daughter were very caring and helpful all through the process. My husband died in May at the height of the pandemic and we were only allowed 9 in the crematorium. It wasn't very pleasant, but they had explained everything clearly to me beforehand which was a very great help.
    I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

  • 5 Marjorie Faragher 3rd Jan 2021

    The funeral directors were very compassionate and supportive throughout this difficult time. They ensured that everything ran smoothly and took a lot of pressure off the family by organising all the details of the funeral very professionally.
