"Toni and Matthew came to collect my Dad just after he passed away, and both were just as professional, friendly, supportive and understanding — which is what I needed to feel comfortable in leaving my dad in their care. They offered me as much time as I needed to say goodbye. Toni offered me the biggest hug too."
— N G (about Toni)
"After a very bad experience with the CoOp I went to see you and straight away I knew it was the right choice. Your empathy, communication, respect and attention to detail is outstanding. Thank you all, every single one of you that made our lives so simple at such an awful time."
— Julie Clark (about Debi)
"Debi was understanding, realistic and business-like, whilst making me feel that she was 'holding my hand' throughout the entire process. Felt as though I'd gained a friend after everything was concluded."
— Sandra Aspel (about Debi)
"She researched and arranged a specialised vehicle and communicated with the prison service to arrange the attendance of a guest. She was able to read each situation and was led by us as to the mood of each meeting — she could show sympathy and provide a sombre atmosphere but also laugh with us when we joked about what Mum and Dad wanted."
— N G (about Debi)
"Sadly, I've had experience with other funeral directors before, and I can honestly say the standard of care we received from Debbie, Olivia, and the team was on a completely different level. They genuinely went above and beyond, and I couldn't speak more highly of them. Your kindness and support meant more than you'll ever know."
— Steven Clark (about Debi)
"Your staff were amazing in supporting Dad's four grandsons to carry him in his coffin. It was the last thing they could do for him, and he would have been so proud of them all. We are incredibly grateful that you allowed them to have that special moment with their grandad."
— Lisa Proctor (about Debbie)

We met with Debi to organise our funeral plans. We decided to arrange this to give us peace of mind and also not have the hassle or pressure for our sons to arrange our funerals. The cost to book now is not cheap and to save your pennies is to book in advance which I would highly recommend. We have had a few of our family choose funeral plans and Debi is always very supportive and friendly and gave us good advice. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Dear Debbie and everyone involved, I would just like to send a big thank you to everyone who was involved in Dad’s funeral on Tuesday, especially Debbie. From the planning, correspondence and organisation leading up to the day, everything was just perfect. It was exactly what we wanted, and Dad would have been so happy with how the funeral went. Your staff were amazing in supporting Dad’s four grandsons to carry him in his coffin. It was the last thing they could do for him, and he would have been so proud of them all. We are incredibly grateful that you allowed them to have that special moment with their grandad. Debbie kept me informed of everything that was happening throughout the day. Her advice when we met with her, along with the organisation and coordination of everyone involved, was fantastic. She made what was an incredibly difficult day feel much easier for us. Thank you again to everyone for your kindness, care and support. It truly meant so much to our family. Kind regards, Lisa

Following the passing of my mum, I honestly couldn’t have asked for better care and support from Debi, Olivia, and the whole team. From our very first meeting, Debi guided us through every step of the process with such kindness, compassion, and professionalism. She made what felt overwhelming seem so much more manageable, taking the time to explain everything clearly and ensuring nothing was ever too much trouble. Olivia was equally wonderful, always attentive, thoughtful, and supportive, and together they made an incredible team. Their attention to detail was outstanding, and every aspect of Mum’s funeral was handled with such dignity, care, and respect. They took so much of the worry and stress away from us, allowing us to focus on remembering Mum and being together as a family. Sadly, I’ve had experience with other funeral directors before, and I can honestly say the standard of care we received from Debbie, Olivia, and the team was on a completely different level. They genuinely went above and beyond, and I couldn’t speak more highly of them. Thank you both for everything you did for us. Your kindness and support meant more than you’ll ever know, and I’ll always be grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for truly exceptional funeral directors. Steve

Thank you will never seem enough. After a very bad experience with the CoOp I went to see you and straight away I knew it was the right choice . Your empathy, communication, respect and attention to detail is outstanding. I so wish we had used you for our late Dad, as for our Mum, today was perfect and all about her as it should be . Thank you all, every single one of you that made our lives so simple at such an awful time . Amazing Debi, thank you for being you and the professional that you are, Trevor, also thank you for being the most perfect minister and Olivia, thank you for allowing us time to say our goodbyes and seeing our late mum look so peaceful . You are all amazing

My partner Paul died on 7th December 2025. My stepson and I used Dartford Funeral Services to arrange his cremation. Debi was professional but also very warm and caring. The day had a few minor hiccups which Debi smoothed over. The celebrant Tevor Donnelly was excellant and held a heartful celebration of Pauls life. A truely sad day made bearable by the care and respect shown. Thank you to all.
