We can’t thank Doves enough for taking care of everything when it came to arranging the funeral for our dear uncle. The rest of the family live 200 miles away and Doves were incredible, giving us a ‘one-stop package’, arranging the Crem, Church, casket, flowers, order of service, tribute site and everything we needed. The day itself went as well as possible, the funeral director very respectful and professional. We would highly recommend.

Cheryl (Sevenoaks branch) was very professional and helpful in sorting out my Mother’s funeral arrangements. She was able to give alternative choices when my original was unavailable. I was able to contact her when I had questions (and there were quite a few), nothing was too much trouble. She made the process a lot easier. Chris the funeral procession escort contacted me the evening before to explain what would happen, he asked my Mums favourite colour and wore a tie the same colour as a mark of respect. Everything ran smoothly on the day. Everyone involved made the process a lot easier in what was a difficult time for the family involved.
