Highly professional, expertly handled by Richard and Jill providing a great service experience. Excellent appointment of the Celebrant, Peta and (due to holidays) connected us to a perfect florist for the celebration. Richard also went out of his way to personally collect Certificates etc so that things could move quickly and effortlessly right at the beginning just when we needed the most help. Throughout the process they were great… Richard for the whole celebration and Jill at the viewing who was perfect. Could not have asked for anything more, an absolute pleasure to have engaged their procedural, organisational and companionate skills and expertise.
They made the occasion great…. Just as it should be !

I was very pleased with the service I received from my mum and also my dad from W Kaye and Sons.

Obviously at such a difficult time in your life having a company to help with everything it’s such a comfort. Richard whom I dealt with it couldn’t have been more helpful, understanding and caring.

They organised everything from flowers, service sheets, cars the service itself and if there was anything I needed to discuss I knew they were there to help and advise. I would definitely recommend this company.
