Most of us are lucky and have very little to do with funeral directors, this was my first experience and was for my mother, I can only say that with the help of Karen who was my first contact and then dealing with Stephen Fry they made all this a lot easier than I thought.
They couldn't have treated us with more kindness if they tried and were more than happy answering questions, I can only thank them for all they did for myself and my family.
Special thanks has to go to the celebrant Maria Williams, she was excellent and again cant thank her enough.

We couldn't have wished for a better service, from start to finish. Every wish we had was carried out with total respect and dignity. We would like to thank all the team for their total professionalism, and empathy. In particular Nadine the celebrant touched so many hearts with her delivery of the story of Dad's life and all those he dearly loved.

We was very anxious about organising Dads funeral, after meeting Karen she made us feel at ease and we knew we were in safe hands.
Karen and Steve had every thing under control , they helped us organise the funeral every step of the way making sure every little detail was included.
They was always at the end of the phone to answer any questions or to advise us.
We had dad home the night before the funeral ,Steve and the team were so respectful and made sure everything was as we wanted it to be.
We can’t thank Karen, Steve and the team enough for making a difficult occasion so much easier
We would most definitely recommend Horlock and son

From the very first moment I spoke to Karen at Horlocks I knew we were in safe and caring hands. Every aspect of their service was totally professional and done with the utmost of empathy. The gentleman who came to collect my husband after he had passed were discreet, calm and very respectful of our needs which, looking back, was so very important to us at the most difficult and saddest of times. Karen was superb in helping us plan the funeral and was at the end of the phone every time we had a question or needed support. She was able to make good recommendations and cut through the paperwork quickly. Everything came together so well and our Funeral Director on the day, Stephen, was amazing. Calm, organised, supportive and understanding. We gave him a big hug when he left us at the wake! Throughout the weeks leading up to the funeral I had no doubts that, with Karen on the case, everything was in hand and on track, taking a lot of the stress out of an already stressful situation. My husbands funeral went so well without a hitch and that is a great testimony to the TS Horlock team who I would highly recommend to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation.

Twice in the past we have called on the services of your company and on both occasions felt we could not have received better service anywhere else.
This time our experience was the same. Your member of staff, at Longfield, listen to what we wanted and gave us all the information we needed to make informed decisions. Her attitude and demeanor hit just the right note so we felt at ease.
Later offers of support from your staff were very welcome gestures. You really helped at a very difficult time.

Horlocks in Longfield have been kind and caring whilst guiding us through the funeral process for my mother.

Karen is efficient, friendly and couldn’t do enough to help us.

Steve and his team on the day of the funeral were very professional and gave excellent customer service at a very emotional time.

This is the second time using their service and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

I cannot fault Horlocks. Karen and Steve were superb at making us feel at ease and steered us through unknown territory with consideration and extreme efficiency. When we first met Karen she immediately put us at our ease, she is extremely easy to talk to and explains everything thoroughly, nothing was too much trouble.

Unfortunately, Karen was struck down with Covid the week before the funeral but Steve took over manfully. Tying up all last minute loose ends and keeping contact all the time.

The Order order of Service was extremely professionally presented as was the entire package.

I would certainly recommend Horlocks and, indeed, already have.

The staff were always available to answer questions and to guide us through the process of arranging the funeral. Everything was organised and carried out in a friendly manner. We were impressed with the dignity and formality of bearing the coffin into the service and particularly delighted to be given a keepsake album to hold the cards from the flowers and cards of condolence together with a framed photograph. Thank you.
