    JF Knight Funeral Directors were the most compassionate and professional people to deal with from start to finish. They listened to us, worked with us and carried out all our wishes with respect and dignity. They went above and beyond to ensure Catherine's wishes were taken care of. We were more than assured as a family that she had been well looked after by them and with dignity. Communication with us was extremely good and all questions were dealt with promptly and with compassion. Nothing was too much trouble, including a visit to the chapel of rest over a weekend. The actual day of the funeral went extremely seamlessly which is what one needs on the most emotional and difficult day. The streaming links arranged by them worked perfectly and the service was viewed by our family and friends worldwide. Special mention for Jamie, Shirlee and Kevin. They were the three I had most dealings with but am sure the whole team are equally good and caring. It is a family run venture and not a business. I would recommend them without hesitation.

    Jf knight has been absolutely amazing so kind compassionate this is the first time I’ve had to arrange something like a funeral before and had no clue where to start and they guided me through every step of the way  from the moment I got in touch with them kept me up to date with phone calls on what was happening . They really do care about people it’s not just about a business and making money everything was laid out price wise no hidden costs no pushy sale pitch ,just “what can we do to help you and your loved one “ I honestly will never forget just how kind all the staff we met are , i will be forever grateful .

  • 5 Liz McGowan 2nd Aug 2026

    From the very beginning to the end, Kevin and the team were such caring and professional caretakers. On the day of my mum Joyce’s funeral, they were so amazing. During such a difficult time, their compassion, professionalism, and care shone through. They took care of every single detail perfectly and made sure my mum was treated with the utmost dignity. I cannot thank Kevin and the rest of the team enough for their support and highly recommend J.F. Knight to anyone needing their services."

  • 5 Gillian Coe 18th Jul 2026

    Absolutely amazing from start to finish. A massive thank you to J F Knight
    Mum died peacefully at home with her family. Her body was collected  with dignity and they gave us as much time as we needed with her to say our goodbyes. There was no bag to put her in. But a stunning velour throw. We were all brought to tears. It was like she was a Queen leaving her home 
    JF Knight were always very professional, and so easy to discuss things with. Making sure we had everything we wanted for mum. Nothing was too much trouble. 
    I honestly cannot thank them enough.
    Mum would have been so proud. 
    Thank you

  • 5 Tracey Jordan 18th Jul 2026

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐




    From the very first phone call to the day we said goodbye to our mum, Kevin and everyone at J.K. Knight Funeral Directors were simply outstanding.




    Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things anyone can go through, but Kevin’s kindness, compassion and professionalism made such a difficult time so much easier to bear. Nothing was ever too much trouble. He guided us through every step with patience, understanding and genuine care, making us feel supported throughout the entire process.




    The funeral itself was beautifully organised and carried out with such dignity and respect. Every detail was taken care of, allowing us to focus on remembering Mum rather than worrying about arrangements. Kevin treated Mum with the utmost dignity, and for that we will always be grateful.




    Thank you for giving our mum the beautiful send-off she truly deserved. We cannot recommend J.K. Knight Funeral Directors highly enough. If you’re looking for a funeral director who genuinely cares about the families they support, Kevin and his team are exceptional.




    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. ❤️

  • 5 Louise Bradshaw 17th Jul 2026

    Outstanding service from start to finish. Having never had to arrange a funeral before I was clueless where to even start Kev looked after my grandad and us like we were his own family even with other things involved in bereavement but not funeral related he used his knowledge to help us where he could. The team on the day were incredible on 1 of the hottest days of the year they were so professional throughout. Thank you once again from all our family

  • 5 Geraldine Fox 23rd May 2026

    J F Knight were very supportive from the first meeting and guided us through the whole process with compassion and understanding. They were supportive in every aspect of the process which was comforting at such an emotional time. They kept in touch with us through the whole planning process and went over and above to make sure that dad's send off was perfect.

    I would fully recommend J.F. Knights without hesitation. From the very beginning through to the end, everything we asked for was handled with care and accommodated perfectly. The entire process — from the planning arrangements to the day of the service itself — was carried out with professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail.




    Everything was seamless, and we truly could not have asked for better support during such a difficult time. I cannot rate them highly enough; they are a real credit to their profession.
