Paul Wood 2nd Feb 2023

This Funeral Director is excellent. They are thoughtful caring, supportive, and go the extra mile to make sure that everything goes perfectly. Their care of our mum was second to none (and due to her illness, must have been very difficult). Their care of the family was exceptional. Their advice invaluable. They listened, carefully, which means they were able to add the little touches. Looking back, we can see just how important this is, and it means so much to us. They made sure that it was a perfect tribute to a very special lady. They were very patient with us. They did not try to 'upsell' they do not have inflated prices. The prices are very reasonable. Also, they gave us their payment terms once only and they never pestered us. Some do. We can say, without reservation, that J F Knight are an excellent Funeral Director. They are wonderful Abassadors for the Funeral Industry. The best. Others should take note. We recommend them to anyone. Please pass on our grateful thanks to each and every one of them.

  • 5 Julie Pickard 31st Jan 2023

    When our dad passed away, my family and I were really unsure how to proceed with planning a funeral so we made appointments at a few funeral directors to see what they recommended. From our first contact with JF Knights we were struck by how helpful and empathetic everyone was there, and Jamie explained the whole process to us without putting any pressure on us to decide there and then. The whole family left that first appointment in agreement that we wanted JF Knights to manage the funeral. From that moment on, Jamie made everything really easy for us and was really supportive in making the day exactly what dad would have wanted, even down to having his staff wear blue ties on the day as dad was a big Sheffield Wednesday supporter. It was a beautiful, personal service and ran smoothly with nothing for us to worry about other than saying goodbye to our beloved dad. We can't recommend Jamie and his team enough.

  • 5 Beverley Dearn 30th Jan 2023

    J.F. Knight have attended to the funerals of both my Aunt and my Father and the service was impeccable on both occasions from the initial contact through to the funeral service and beyond. I could not recommend the service they provide enough and their attention to detail took a lot of pressure off me at a time of grief and loss.

  • 5 Dean Sykes 19th Jul 2022

    Very professional from start to finish

  • 5 Lisa North 19th Jul 2022

    The service provided by J. F. Knight Funeral Directors is first class, second to none. From the outset we felt truly supported and were treated with kindness and compassion by every member of the team. When a loved one passes away, you want to place them in safe, trusted hands and for them to be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. The funeral is the last practical thing you can do for them and creating a truly fitting tribute is so important. Jamie & team thought of everything, and once we had chosen the type of funeral we wanted, they just got on and made it happen. We can look back on what was an inevitably sad time, but with a sense of joy too, because everything ran so smoothly and we take comfort in knowing that there was nothing we would have done differently. J.F. Knight Funeral Directors provided that peace of mind and lasting memory. We will always be grateful to them for that.
