What families say about us
Rated 4.79 / 5 based on 24 reviews.
Rated 5/5
With the sudden loss of our Mum, she had a pre paid funeral through Merrony & Kynaston. From beginning to the very end, the service and compassion was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble and the service we received was exactly what you need in a very sad and stressful time. All the team ( especially Lisa in the office) were great to deal with and always there to talk you through the process.I would definitely recommend dealing with a great professional company.

Couldn't recommend highly enough, from the first meeting to the day of the the Funeral, we where treated with courtesy, compassion and complete professionalism. Lisa and Ebony where so helpful and made things so much easier at a very painful time.
