From the 1st phone call to give our plan number we couldn't have had a better service from the Kilburn branch, Marion took care of everything for us, helped with suggestions for the order of service and arranged the flowers for us, she kept us informed of every step, Fabio, the funeral director couldn't have been more helpful he told us what each step was and made sure everything went as planned, we cannot thank this branch team enough for all they did for us, they took the worry and uncertainty out of a sad situation and guided us through it which made a huge difference to how we as a family dealt with our mums death.

JH Kenyon Kilburn branch provided excellent service to the family from the beginning til post funeral.
Paul explained and guided us in details what needed to be arranged, given that we are asians and have our own requirements, he had to go out of his way to research our request.
Pravin was onsite and ensured that the funeral was taken care of on the day, the whole process went very smoothly without hiccups.

It was a great shock when my beloved husband died of Covid, in hospital. A friend recommended JH Kenyon, and from the moment of my first tentative contact I have been pleased that I chose them. The team in my local office were kind and patient. For example, the Covid restrictions were very hard, but PW explained them fully and clearly sympathised that I could not, for example, spend time with my husband in the Chapel of Rest. We wanted some special touches to make the service feel 'just like Charles', and PW went to a lot of trouble to ensure that the celebrant (the excellent Phil Walder), the people running the livestream and the music, and the Director on the day were all fully in the picture. At no point did I feel hassled about charges, money or any of those unpleasant things one reads about with lesser firms: I felt throughout that my grief was understood and that JH Kenyon would do their very best for my husband and myself. They did this to the full, and I recommend them to anyone seeking discreet professionalism at a very difficult time. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us on your online review. I am glad that we were able to provide you with the dignity and respect needed at this time and that you confided in us as a team to take care of your loved one.

I can most definitely recommend J H. Kenyon’s funeral service. They acted most professionally throughout and explained everything very clearly. All their staff were respectful, kind and very helpful with their advice.
I was particularly grateful for their assistance with arranging the details of my brother’s funeral and their ability to manage donations for our chosen charity. This made it easy to send friends and family the link to all of the funeral arrangements and all the necessary travel information etc.
This is our family’s second occasion of using J H. Kenyon’s service and we are most grateful for their ability to organise everything to run so smoothly and in such a dignified manner.
I have no hesitation in recommending them to all.

I am pleased to hear the team looked after you and the family well and that you had the trust and confidence in our staff to be able to deliver the service you expected.
Rating 5.0
At every level, from the first contact until the very final commitment, services rendered by all J H Kenyon personnel were beyond exceptional. Every member of my family shared this sentiment and we are happy to submit a review which goes part of the way to describing the appreciation we all feel, for the tasteful excellence expended by every individual we encountered as we mourned the loss of our beloved patriarch. We especially feel indebted to Paul, who oversaw every phase of the funeral and Fabio (spelling?) who directed all aspects of the memorable, homegoing celebration. Simple thanks alone cannot adequately express our appreciation for the sensitive, professional and accommodating nature of the service we received. Our sadness is somewhat placated by the professionalism experienced by all at J H Kenyon. We have no regrets for our funeral director selection and appreciate this opportunity to share our satisfaction. Sincerely submitted by an eternally indebted and grateful bereaved family.
Response from James Crook Funeral Directors
