Bournes Funeral Service, Sittingbourne

5 Melanie Bentley 23rd Oct 2026

We honestly cannot thank this fantastic family run funeral directors enough for everything they did for us. At an immensely difficult and emotional time they were so kind, caring and understanding, and made the whole process easier to deal with.
It was clear throughout that Bournes Funeral Directors genuinely cared; we never felt rushed and nothing was too much trouble. They treated mum with the dignity and respect she deserved and their personal approach gave us real comfort at a time when we needed it most.
We are so grateful for all their help and support in giving mum the beautiful farewell she deserved.
We would highly recommend Bournes to anyone looking for a Funeral Director who goes above and beyond.
Thank you to all at Bournes for everything you did for us at such a difficult time.

Really helpful and i could ask for any better

The service that we received for my Mothers funeral was outstanding. The caring and helpful staff helped us every step of the way and on the day made us all feel very calm and the organisation was timed to the second.
We also used Bournes for my Fathers funeral a few years ago and would recomend them to anyone.

It's never easy when you lose a loved one to say goodbye, but Bournes made this final part, an experience we will be forever grateful.

Our dad loved to walk locally where he lived. We requested if they could drive en route to the crematorium around Tunstall and Borden and then onto the care home where dad resided. We really appreciated them taking dad and us this alternative way to remember where he loved to be and the opportunity to wave and pay our respects to all the wonderful staff who looked after him.

Bournes also placed a large canvas we had printed of dad and my daughters dog at the back of the hearse. which was just so uplifting to see dad's smiling face as we followed behind, this made our final journey with him so memorable.

When visiting Bournes or communicating via email, all the staff were so supportive and kind, guiding us through a very difficult time with smiles and warmth. Nothing was too much trouble.

From start to finish they were so professional and respectful which we really appreciated.

A massive big thank you from all The Gyles family.

I could not have asked for a better send off for my mum,

Bournes where amazing, From originally organising the Funeral before my mum past away to the day of the funeral,

Ben was amazing on the day, he made sure every thing was done as we wanted it and with the up most respect on such a sad day,

We could not have asked for a better service from Chele, the way she worded the eulogy was incredible, as a family we sat down with her and bombarded her with stories of mum and the outcome was a try reflection on her life.

If there was a 10 star review i would put that!

5 Donna Payne 10th Sep 2026

From start to finish we were looked after at what is a very difficult time. On the day of my mum's funeral me and my husband was told at every point what would happen, we was not left thinking what do we do know. A very big thank you to Ben for making everything go so seamlessly thank you so much to Bourns.

The Team at Bournes, have always given our family outstanding service, particularly Ben, communication was easy, the room for resting & viewing was perfect.  I cannot recommend Bournes enough as I had to have my husband returned to UK, it was all handled smoothly & with compassion 💯 

5 Jo Henderson 29th Aug 2026

I cannot speak highly enough of the entire team at Bournes. They are quietly efficient, kind and genuinely thoughtful in every element of preparing for and delivering a funeral. They looked after my family last year for my mother’s funeral and again recently for my father. Special mention to Ben, who has been professional, compassionate and warm on both occasions. 

5 Gregg Hackers 25th Aug 2026

5 Kim Hayler 15th Aug 2026

I honestly cannot thank Bournes Funeral Directors enough for the kindness, compassion and care they showed our family at the most heartbreaking time of our lives.




From the very beginning, we felt completely reassured that our lovely Dad was in the best possible hands. Nothing ever felt rushed, we were given all the time we needed, and everything was handled with such dignity, patience and genuine compassion.




At a time when you feel completely lost and overwhelmed, having people you can trust to take care of someone so precious to you means more than words can say. We always felt that Dad was being treated with the utmost respect and care, and that brought us such comfort.




The kindness shown to us throughout, and the care taken in making sure Dad received the beautiful send-off he deserved, is something we will never forget.




We will always be incredibly grateful to everyone at Bournes for looking after our Dad, and us, so wonderfully. I genuinely couldn’t recommend them highly enough. ❤️

From the moment we contacted Ben at the beginning of this journey nothing was too much to ask of him or the team.
They are fantastic at what they do and we as a family cannot thank them all enough for making one of the hardest times feel a little easier and stress free.
