Thanks to Linda and the lovely attendants on the day, the funeral was everything I asked for. This was our second major funeral by Kendricks in eight months and I wanted almost the same details as the first. Linda had all the details to hand which made it a simple meeting. The driver didn’t rush us after the ceremony and Jill, the vicar, who they get in touch with for us, was absolutely brilliant. Highly recommended. Thank you.
