  • 5 Eddie Bujko 28th May 2025

    All the pressure of arranging a funeral was taken from us which allowed us to concentrate on other issues arising from my Mother's death. From the swift and efficient collection of my Mother's body from the care home and subsequent care to the burial plot,church priest,transport, route and relevant paperwork and advice. As a family, we can only praise the way Knights looked after us and would recommend the service provided as excellent.

  • 5 Vanessa Dickson 28th May 2025

    The level of care and empathy shown during our difficult loss was outstanding. We were given nothing but an excellent service and nothing was too much trouble to be organise. Would not hesitate to use again as we were so looked after as a whole and made to feel reassured throughout the whole process.

    First class, Excellent and super, really sum up the service we’ve received on two very recent funerals.  Came highly recommended  and delivered in spades.  From the OFF, my mum passed New Year’s Eve at 16:05, as soon as I contacted them they  took control and gently guided me through the whole process, not once was I left wondering “ what do I do” .on every level this was a first class service.  Jamie and his staff were so kind.

    Well done to you all.

  • 5 Rachel Miller 9th Apr 2025

    JFKnight have shown the highest level of professionalism and care that we could ask for. Throughout the process, they have been kind, efficient, considerate and helpful. Whenever we have phoned the office, we have had a caring voice on the phone, and whenever we have emailed, we have had a timely response. All the arrangements were precisely as agreed, and they helped us through all the difficult decision-making. A big thank you particularly to Kevin and of course Jamie. We were so very glad that we found this firm to help us through an awful time.

    Jamie and the team were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. We will always appreciate the visit to see Dad on, what should have been, Mum & Dads 50th wedding anniversary. Fabulous attention to detail by asking Dads favourite music and having this playing softly in the background when we visited. Thankyou for taking such great care of Dad and the patience and compassion you showed us as a family.
