I cannot thank Kenyons enough for the Care, Kindness and compassion they showed my family during a very difficult time.
I would especially like to thank Sue White, who was absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond, always being so kind, patient and reassuring. She made us all feel that Dad was in the very best hands.
From start to finish everything was perfect.
Thank you again ❤️

Sue helped guide me through every stage of arranging my Mum's funeral with care and great experience. She was always available to take questions, as was Valerie . A huge thanks to everyone at Kenyon's. Fabio made a difficult day so much easier, with regards to small details and key moments, and the rest of the team were so respectful. It was a good send off for Mum. Thank you.
