Donna, Chris and the whole team at Frances Chappell & Sons provided an exemplary service for the funeral of my friend Peter Watson at Beckenham Crematorium last December. From the initial meeting at the Orpington office, the manner and tone was highly sensitive and the advice was practical and straightforward led by Donna's level-headed expertise. The day of the funeral was no less sensitive and professionally handled. I found the experience a faultless one. Thank you, Hywel David

From the moment we first approached Francis Chappell & Sons in The Walnuts, Orpington regarding our mother’s funeral arrangements, we encountered a professional service. The staff were kind, compassionate and helpful. Everything went exactly as we’d hoped it would do on the day of the funeral. The celebrant conducting the service was lovely. It was a nice surprise after the service to receive a memory box and a photo of our mother together with frame. Francis Chappell helped relieve some of the stress from our family’s shoulders at a very sad time.
