    Second time using Kendricks and both times have been treated with empathy and professionalism. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

    J.Vernon Kendricks have been amazing throughout with our family. We did not expect losing our mum at such a young age it has been one of the hardest things to go through but Jeni at the Stourbridge funeral home has been fantastic with us she helped us arrange the most loveliest send off for my late mum.

    We can't thank them enough.
