Sadly my Dad passed away in December and I went to Ashdown Funeral Services in Blackfen ,which I had previously used 20 years before when my Mum passed away. I met with Claire who was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I went into Ashdown Claire was very kind and comforting. Claire made the whole process very easy from start to finish and she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly.Claire introduced us to a wonderful celebrant called Jac who conducted my Dad's service and she was also superb in what she did, again also making the whole process easy at what was a very difficult time. Because of Claire and Jac my Dad was given a wonderful send off and I would highly recommend Ashdown for their professional, caring approach.

Clare is amazing, she answered any questions we had, put our minds at ease & made us feel welcome whenever we needed to speak or see her. Donna on the day of the funeral was also amazing & was there to guide us the whole way & Sacha who conducted the service was just the best & we couldn’t of asked for anyone else to help us give our mum the send off she deserved, they are a great team & highly recommend them at Ashdowns.

As a family we a are extremely grateful for all the help, care and support provided by Clare. From the first phone call to even now a few weeks on from the funeral , she has been amazing going above and beyond to support us. Nothing seemed to much or too hard, she showed us she really cared for what we wanted and helped to make the whole process stress free.We knew from when we first met Clare that Lesley would be well looked after in Ashdown's care.We would like to thank Clare and the Ashdown' team for the amazing service provided.

Very professional service. Clare was extremely sensitive and very reliable putting together the right package for my sisters cremation. As a family, we are forever grateful for the efficient service and having Clare organised everything took a lot of pressure off my mum during this process. Not only would I recommend ashdown services, I would recommend asking for Clare and also if your considering a cremation then Kemnal Park is an ideal and beautiful location to have the service. Thank you for providing us with this lovely service.

I lost a loved one in November 2020 very suddenly and unexpectedly and dreaded having to plan the funeral as I was struggling to cope with the loss, after contacting several other FD's I went with Ashdown as I felt reassurance upon speaking to Clare on the phone, her professionalism put me at ease and helped take out the stress of it all. No request was too much to ask for and the team were always in constant contact about everything. On the day Matthew and the team ensured our loved one was given the respectful service he deserved amongst this pandemic. I cannot thank Ashdown Funeral services enough, for their care and attention to detail and the professionalism displayed was like no other.
