We have used Naylars in the past as they arranged my husbands mums funeral, myself and my daughter went back there to arrange my husband Les Harris funeral, Adele was most helpful with sorting out all the arrangements and nothing was too much trouble if anything needed to be changed. Charlie who looked after the family on the day of the funeral was also helpful and nothing was too much trouble even taking a photo of 8 of us wearing rugby shirts standing by the hearse when we arrived at the crematorium, all in all we could not have asked for better respect and consideration Naylars provided for myself and my family.

I initially contacted W Naylar & Sons on a Sunday. Not only were they available, but also very helpful. I have not organised a funeral before, but they were there every step of the way. Very considerate and professional. On the day of the funeral I met the man who had previously phoned to introduce himself as the one who would collect us and lead the journey to the crematorium. It was a very personal and dignified service we received from him and other staff present. The celebrant who was provided via Naylar & Sons was also brilliant.

I found all the staff to be very caring and professional at all times. They guided us through the funeral arrangements and kept us informed. The celebrant they suggested was excellent. A very sad time but made easier with their help, especially Adele. Our funeral service for mum was a lovely celebration of my mum's life and the service booklet was beautifully put together

I actually wanted W Naylar to conduct my father’s funeral. They were professional, empathic and Michelle was lovely, she took time out to ring and ask how I was and we even managed to laugh! Humour is so important, I was so wanting my father’s funeral to be uplifting, positive and a celebration of his magnificent life. Both Graham and Michelle were wonderful and I conducted the service myself. It was the hardest funeral I’ve ever had to conduct, but I remembered whose daughter I was! The restrictions were not an issue as I had a webinar which was seen as far as South Africa and France and many elderly relatives were shielding. I can’t thank W Naylars enough for the way they dealt with everything as well as with me. Thank you for all you did...

Everything about W Naylar was amazing, they were so helpful at such a difficult time. Michelle was a superstar from the strood branch however everyone we were in contact with - Kerry, Fiona, Chris & Graham were so helpful and nothing we wanted to know or do was too insignificant, they couldn't do enough to help. 5 stars - I wouldn't contemplate using any other funeral director - they made a horrible experience bareable - I cannot express how great they really were.
