The service I received from the Kennington team were brilliant, especially Joan who helped me with arranging my mums funeral and Mark the funeral director. Both were amazing and professional throughout this difficult time. This was the first time I had to arrange a funeral and Joan guided me through the process at ease. My heartfelt thanks to everyone on the team.
