    Kevin and the team were lovely from the very start.

    Very understanding and caring throughout the whole process.

    After listening to our needs and mums wishes they offered advice and guidance without pressure.
    They arranged a meeting with Elle who spoke at mum's funeral as we didn't want a service all based on religion and wanted the day to be focused on how special mum was and what her life was all about.

    They couldn't have picked a better person for the job.
    She was down to earth and made us feel at ease from hervwalkung through the door.
    She had an amazing ability to tell mums life story perfectly as if she had known her for herself.
    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend knights and Elle to anyone who finds themselves in the heartbreaking situation of arranging funeral for a loved one, they all went above and beyond.

  • 5 Mark Giles 15th Oct 2025

    Many thanks for J.F.Knight and in particular to Kevin Cooke who supported us and provided our family with such fantastic service on our father's passing. Everything we asked for was done without any trouble and we were treated with the utmost respect. Thank you again J F Knight and Kevin, superb service.

  • 5 Sue Kemp 12th Sep 2025

    We had Knights recommended to us by another family firm of funeral directors.
    What an excellent choice it turned out to be!
    From the first contact we had the perfect balance of empathy paired with total professionalism, patience and great attention to detail.
    Thank you so much.

  • 5 Kathryn Foreman 6th Sep 2025

    Jamie and his team were just excellent. My sister who's husband was buried, just keeps saying what a lovely day it all was. If a funeral can be lovely that is. They organised everything. We cannot fault them.

  • 5 Elayne Todd 5th Sep 2025

    I can’t praise the team at J.F. Knight highly enough. Their compassion and  professionalism helped me and my family through our most difficult time. We will be forever grateful. 

  • 5 Sharon Oldfield 4th Sep 2025

    Jamie and his team where once again amazing empathetic and professional throughout. Thank you so much. We would not chose anyone else to take care of our loved ones in their final journey.

  • 5 Zoe Jones 4th Sep 2025

    I can't recommend J.F.Knight funeral directors enough. Through a very hard time, they were with us all the way. Not as a business but as lovely caring people who treated dad with love and care. Every suggestion they made was from listening to us speaking about dad. It is only a small amount of time but we all knew each well through this time. 100% would recommend.

  • 5 Kara Douthwaite 4th Sep 2025

    Absolutely outstanding service. The support, guidance and services we received from the J F Knights were second to none.  From the first phone call we knew we had chosen the right place for our mum to be taken care of.
    I can’t thank them enough.
    Thank you 

  • 5 Kelly Bennett 1st Aug 2025

    Everything was perfect for her send off thank you for everything you made the day so much easier to manage

  • 5 Zoe Sutcliffe 1st Aug 2025

    On behalf of our family, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to J.F. Knight Funeral Director Services for the care, professionalism, and genuine compassion they showed during the arrangements for our beloved Ashley Jerome.




    From start to finish, the team guided us with kindness and patience, making a very emotional time feel just a little more manageable. Every detail and all request was handled with respect, and the service itself was a true reflection of Ashley’s life and spirit.




    One of the most touching elements was the music — played loud, just as Ashley would have wanted. It brought out his wonderfully quirky personality and filled the space with the energy and warmth he was known for. It was emotional, uplifting, and so authentically him.




    Thank you for helping us celebrate Ashley in a way that truly honoured who he was. Your support and attention to detail meant the world to us.  You looked after my son like we always did thank you. 

  • 5 Joanna Corea 2nd Jul 2025

    I never thought planning a funeral would be so calming and that is because of J F Knight Funerals (Kevin). He kept calling me to inform me of anything, re-assured me, just talked to me. He arranged everything for me, even found the grave I needed for burial. He collected Roger from Blackpool and took him back to Sheffield where they dressed him in his suit and looked after him.

  • 5 Wayne Phillips 2nd Jul 2025

    Absolutely amazing 1st class service throughout and Kevin went above and beyond

    Cannot recommend highly enough

    Professional and excellence

    Thank you

  • 5 Lisa Whiteley 2nd Jul 2025

    Had the best experience with JF Knight from arranging my dad's funeral to the actual day itself. Communication was excellent. Kevin helped arrange dad's funeral & recommended Elle the celebrant & she was just perfect for the service for dad. The day

  • 5 Natalie Johnson 2nd Jul 2025

    The service provided by j.f knights was amazing.  The care and consideration for our family Could not have been better.
    We appreciate every single part of your service 

  • 5 Julie Warriner 1st Jun 2025

    Very personal but professional service. Thank you all at Jamie Kinghts, for your care of Dads funeral. Especially to Kay, who was welcoming and guided us from the beginning and was even there to the end, the day of the funeral, we found this to be such a personal service, nothing on the day was rushed, so that left us able to take everything in and made Dads last day with us a very special one.
    Sending the warmest of wishes from all the family of Brian Stevens

  • 5 Margaret McSloy 31st May 2025

    Jamie and his team always go the extra mile to make a very difficult time as stress free as possible . 
    I cannot imagine anyone else caring about there job as much as Jamie does and it showed  in every aspect of his care for our mum and our family throughout the process . 

  • 5 Amanda Oxley 30th May 2025

    There are no words to express the gratitude towards Jamie, Shirlee, and their wonderful family at Knight’s for  looking after our loved one and our family.

    They guided us with care and compassion at such sad time.  Right from the moment we asked Knights to look after our precious loved one, we knew we were in safe hands. 

    Jamie introduced us to Elle, our wonderful celebrant. Elle celebrated our Dad’s life wonderfully and so eloquently. 

    Thank you once again. The McCarthy family ❤️

  • 5 Theresa Walsh 29th May 2025

    The choice of J.F Knight Independent Family Funeral Directors to organise our Mum’s funeral after a friend’s personal recommendation was a very good one.
    We felt that our Mum as well as ourselves were looked after in a very professional yet personal way.
    Thank you to Kevin and all the team at J.F Knight for a first class personal service in all respects.
    Every member of staff that we came in to contact with were kind and sensitive to our needs and made the whole experience less daunting than we anticipated.
