Michael ar Carden and Sons was outstanding from the very start. He was professional whilst also being kind and caring. He looked after Jackie like she was a member of his own family. We couldn't be happier with the service he provided and would not hesitate to recommend Caden and Sons.

Michael has taken care of previous family members but more recently my dad. Michael takes away all the pressure of the funeral arrangements, guides you through different funeral service options & deals with all the organising from celebrant to service leaflets. He is an amazing person & has a great team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to other family & friends.

Carden&sons went above and beyond for us as a family they were amazing ever step of the way before and after our father's funeral arrangements they are very respectful of everything we asked for and couldn't of looked after are father any better than we could of asked for they have an amazing chapel of rest to see loved ones they were very welcoming everything is explained in full along the way and they are always there if any questions need to be asked and they answer straight away they are more than comforting about everything and day of our father's funeral went absolutely perfect due to Carden&sons
Would recommend them to anyone who is having to go through losing a loved one and having to arrange funeral arrangements as they do absolutely everything for you with professional care support and love

Was very professional from start to finish

5 Sarah Braithwaite Braithwaite 28th Aug 2025

We chose Carden & Sons mainly due to its locality and the impression we received from our phone interactions prior to choosing a funeral director. It is a small, initially family-run business but delivered everything we needed. Michael was kind,professional, empathetic and warm and we felt he would offer a personalised service which is sometimes lacking these days. He really went the extra mile to guide us through the whole process and was fantastic to work with, especially given the extra support we needed after my mother's passing. I was particularly impressed by his responsiveness to the smallest requests as well as his availability. Carden & Sons take their work seriously and pride themselves on delivering the best possible service as well as supporting the family in whatever way they can. Would highly recommend, especially to anyone desiring a family-feel service which delivers. Thank you, again!

5 Pamela Waddington 25th Jul 2025

I cannot thank Michael and his team enough for the beautiful service we received for my beloved Mam. From day one, Michael was exceptional by making the most difficult time feel that little bit less stressful by taking my Mam into his care and showing her the greatest respect and honour she deserved. Nothing was too much to ask and he was available 24/7 if I needed him. I've never met someone so kind, respectful, helpful and caring. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

5 Angela diclemente 7th Jul 2025

This was the first funeral I have ever had to arrange & when I was recommended Michael Carden & Sons I couldn't have chosen anyone better. Michael is very kind and pleasant and He guided me from the start of this was joirney & took all my anguish away. He organised everything, and true to his words he took excellent care of my dad & made sure that when I went to his chapel of rest to say my goodbyes to Dad he looked totally at peace, he made sure Dad was clean shaven and dressed in the clothes provided by myself & that has left me with a beautiful picture of Dad that I will cherish forever…
Nothing was too much trouble he was only a call away should I have needed any advise or help with the funeral. 

I have already recommended Michaels services to my dear friend who's father passed away 4 days after mine. 

The day couldn't have gone any better & Michael went above and beyond to make sure everything was covered and we are eternally grateful. 

Thank you Angie

Michael C. is our angel of all angels on earth and will forever be our best friend for life.

From the moment we unexpectedly and suddenly called him late at night to take care of our beloved, Mick Hall......not only did Michael provide a prompt service, he attentively took care of Mick's and all of our family's needs right until the very end.

Every bespoke request, was fulfilled; Michael and his team ensured that the funeral arrangements, tribute slide show, order of service, wake venue and even letting our dog Samson ride in the family car so that he could accompany his best friend and pawfect Daddy on his final journey was met with love and approval.

In turn, we had the utmost, perfect and beautiful send-off and celebration of life for Mick.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for your time, professionalism, love and care of which, all are truly, truly appreciated.

Love from Sue, Rachael, Mark and family 💙💙💙 xxx

5 Sandra May 28th Jan 2025

Really difficult to find the words to express how grateful I am for the excellent service received from Carden & Sons following the death of my Husband Allan.
From the moment Michael came though my door he was so thoughtful and considerate. I was not expecting him to arrange everything, (Celebrant, flowers, catering and venue, etc) but he made it all so easy and arranged it all. The little details especially the hugs that I was not expecting made it very personal to me. The Celebrant Jo Raynor was also excellent and everyone commented on how lovely she reflected on Allan's life.
Myself, Family and friends would like to thank Michael and his team for the care of Allan and the excellent service provided with love.

5 Callum Burton 16th Jan 2025

Michael and his team at Cardens and Sons are nothing short of amazing.In the past Michael gave me and my family reassurance when laying my mum to rest. He did the best I could ask for. That's why this time a few years later we chose to return to Michael to lay my dad to rest too and my thoughts this time echo my previous experience. Respectful,kind and went out of his way to do anything and everything he could. If you find yourself in the situation where someone you love has passed Michael and team are the best I can recommend

5 John Costello 15th Jan 2025

Carden and Sons are the most kindest, respectful, thoughtful people you would want to help you through a so sad time. Without Mick and staff I do not know how I would have managed. thank you to all concerned.

5 Leanne Gale 15th Jan 2025
