As always Farriers have shown why they are the best of the best, I can not imagine a better service to look after a loved one at this difficult time.Kindness and consideration is well above what can be expected.Sarah is very much the best representative of a business with such a long established company. All I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Farriers are such a caring and professional team. They enabled me to provide the prefect send off for my amazing husband.
Joanne Godden 4th Dec 2025
The funeral service of our Dad and Grandad was of course sad, but our lasting feeling is that it served as a celebration of his life, and an event he would have enjoyed attending! Ultimately, that is our measure of success and is bringing us comfort in this space on the other side - and was achieved in no small part thanks to the care and professionalism of Farriers of Dover. Richard understood from the outset what we wanted to do and ensured everything down to the smallest of details was perfect. The team on the day wearing claret-coloured ties for our Hammers supporter, for example, was a very moving surprise for us. You get one chance at this and you are always in safe hands with Farriers. They helped us do something special for Baz and that has gone a long way to soothe us in our loss and support us in moving forward as a family in our new chapter. Thank you x
