I couldnt have asked for a better funeral director to care for my dear husband. They were caring compassionate and helpful in every way posdible. Their chapels of rest are really lovely and I could spend as much time needed to say my goodbyes which was very important to us. On the day of the funeral Mark and his team showed so much respect not only to my loved one but to our family too. Nice touch with the little packs of tissues given out to family. Sarah and Glynis were also so kind when we visited the Strood branch showing professionalism and empathy. Thank you all so much for making a sad day a little easier to bear.
