I was very impressed by the team at JF Knight Funeral Director Services. From the start Jamie and Shirlee were friendly, helpful and supportive and made every effort to ensure the service went as well as possible, including providing flowers, liaising with the celebrant (who conducted an excellent ceremony), helping to set up a memorial web page for my late brother, and arranging for the event to be available for those who could not be there in person to watch live by webcam and later as a recorded version. I thought the ceremony itself provided exactly the right combination of solemnity and intimacy and gave my brother an excellent send-off. I warmly recommend them.

As a family we had nothing to compare this funeral directors with as it was our first loss of a close relative but I am all for supporting small local businesses and I am so glad we made the choice to go with J.F.Knights to look after my father in law and arrange his funeral. From start to finish they were absolutely fantastic at supporting us with our loss and helping us to make decisions we was initially unsure about, we didn’t feel rushed to do anything. On the day of the funeral the hearse arrived and as we followed the car out of the small estate, Shirlee walked in front of the car until we reached the road. They put us in touch with the perfect celebrant who spoke about my father in law like he had known him all his life. We have had lots of comments about how good the service was. They then collected the ashes from the crematorium for us and transferred them into our chosen urn as requested. It’s the little things that was so well thought out that made it special for us. The small team of people they have that make up the business go above and beyond for grieving families and treat the body of the deceased as they would their own family, tending to them with care and compassion. Some people may argue that is their job but the care that was shown to us was second to non. I will never use anyone else when ever I loose a loved one in the future so it goes without saying that I would definitely recommend them as a business. Thank you to Jamie, Shirlee, Kevin and anyone I have missed at JFKnights, you did Neil proud and we are truly great full. Keep up your amazing work ☺️ The Machon Family

    Very good service. Efficient, respectful and competatively priced. I would definately recommend them.

  • 5 Jenny Amidu 5th May 2020

    I was very impressed with the service we received at one of the most difficult times. I can not recommend them enough they were kind, compassionate and helpful. We wanted the funeral to be red and black themed as my mam loved the colour red. They all wore red ties for us which was a special touch and my mum would have loved that. They also arranged for a video of my mam singing to be played at the service. They went the extra mile in every way and myself and my family are very grateful. Thank you x

  • 5 Andrew Bonnington 3rd Jan 2020

    We cannot thank Jamie and Shirlee enough for their care and support during the most difficult time. 
    Jamie absolutely went above and beyond with his attention to detail... the flowers were beautiful and by far the best we have ever seen.  
    Jamie’s professionalism is second to none - from his gentle manner and quiet understanding when meeting my father in law for the first time, to his proud demeanour on the day of the funeral when leading my mother in law from her home for the last time. Jamie goes above and beyond and he truly deserves every success. 

  • 5 Steve Richards 20th Dec 2019

    We would like to thank Jamie and his team Shirlee and Kevin at JF Knight for the dedicated service and care shown on our loss, nothing too much trouble and attention to detail was excellent. On a day of floods and not all tears, JF Knight did  a superb job in getting us all to the funeral on time regardless of severe weather conditions In Sheffield with the heavy rain that day.

  • 5 Ashlee Jones 5th Dec 2019

    Just want to say a big thank you to everyone at J.F Knight. Our mum recently passed away and Jamie was the first person I turned to for help. Jamie and the team went above and beyond to fulfil our mums wishes, they even joined in with the colour scheme. The whole funeral was carried out with so much respect and detail. The help and support we have received from all of you has been amazing, you have really helped us through this. Thank you so much for looking after our mum, we will always recommend your service! 

  • 5 George Carnall 28th Nov 2019

    Jamie and his team were brilliant from start to finish.  The after-service was impressive.  The staff were smart and professional - even at 3 o’clock in the morning when we called them.

  • 5 Gayle Borden 27th Nov 2019

    Our family cannot thank everyone enough at JFKnight for their flawless  performance in helping us through the saddest time our lives.

    Jamie immediately responded with sensitivity and helped us through everything from start to finish.

    Everyone was responsive, kind and helpful. The planning was precise and easy.  They prepared  Mum/Nans temporary  place of rest so beautiful and healing and she never looked so lovely and at peace thanks to them (something we were dreading but they made it loving and beautiful). 

    The service was better than we could ever had hoped for and was organized perfectly and was a wonderful tribute.

    We highly recommend JLKnight to everyone that wants the best send off for their loved ones. Their kindness, sensitivity, professionalism and knowledge cannot be beat.

     We were happy to pay the reasonable bill after the service as they were worth every penny.

     Thank you Jamie and everyone for a great job well done!!

    With much gratitude and respect,

      Gayle Borden and our whole Borden Family
