What families say about us
Rated 4.7 / 5 based on 29 reviews.

My resident was picked up from Camberwell Lodge Care Home in the least dignified way! The undertakers were too quick, pushed the body and not carried them - despite there being two undertakers! Then put them on the side walk in a residential area with a school around! I called them straight away and they said they would call me back - they had not!
We usually recommend Albins and Udens - use them for dignified care for your loved one!

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.
