Rated 5 / 5
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.

Horlock took brilliant care of my mum from the minute they took her into their care.Ross and the team had great respect and understanding of how we wanted mum to be looked after. On the funeral day they made sure everything was done at our pace while ensuring the church and crematorium service was seamless.
The team made a very difficult sad day bearable for the family and graceful and respectful for mum.
Thank you Horlock team 🙏

We used TS Horlock for my father's funeral in August, transporting him from a care home in Bristol back to his hometown of Gravesend.
Ross was very supportive in helping me put all the arrangements in place from Bristol. We completed all the paperwork remotely and finalised everything over the phone.
Ross was kind, compassionate and reassuring. We really appreciated his suggestion of paging past the house in Northfleet where my father was born - a touching personal moment which set the tone for the day.
Richard and the team were impeccable and Richard guided us through the funeral with courtesy and discretion which we were very grateful for.
We would absolutely recommend Ross and the team at T S Horlocks.
