I felt hand-held from start to finish and nothing was too much of a problem. The day and ceremony ran smoothly and I would highly recommend.

I honestly cannot thank Mel at T S Hollock & Son Funeral Directors in Longfield enough for everything she has done for me during two of the hardest times of my life.
From the very beginning, Mel was absolutely wonderful. She showed me such compassion, kindness and understanding, and supported me through two funerals with the utmost professionalism and care. At a time when I was dealing with so much heartache, she was there to guide me, reassure me and make an incredibly difficult time that little bit easier.
Mel is truly a credit to the funeral profession. She has a very special way of making you feel supported and cared for when you need it most. Her compassion went far beyond simply doing her job, and I will always be grateful for the comfort and support she gave me when I needed it more than words can say.
Losing loved ones is one of the hardest things anyone has to go through, and having someone like Mel by your side makes such a difference. I will never forget the kindness, empathy and professionalism she showed me.
Thank you, Mel, from the bottom of my heart. You have made a lasting impression on me, and I hope you know just how much you are appreciated. T S Hollock & Son are incredibly lucky to have someone like you as part of their team.
I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who needs the care and support of a funeral director during such a difficult time. An absolutely outstanding service from a truly lovely lady. ❤️

Melanie at Horlocks proved to be exactly the person we needed to help plan, organise and deliver my brother's funeral: from the moment we arrived at the funeral parlour to her aftercare following the day itself. She combines efficiency, creativity and professionalism with the sort of kindness and gentleness that a bereaved family needs. We have always used Horlocks for our family and will certainly continue to do so after this experience.
