"You guided me through the process with such care and empathy, you made the most horrific time bearable. You listened. My dad was well looked after in your care and we really appreciate all you did to make this a special celebration of his life."

"Her kind and caring manner along with her very calming and soothing voice makes you feel that you are never bothering her and that she is looking after a member of her own family."

— terry martin (about Hayley)

"I recently lost my teenage son and had no idea about funeral planning. Stepping into Doves I was greeted warmly by Hayley Boyle — I never felt alone and had help every step of the way. She listened to me, handed me tissues, and even personalised the order of service booklets with my son's artwork. I have given 5 stars but in truth there aren't enough stars in the sky to show the immense appreciation and gratitude I feel."

From my first contact with Hayley from Doves she was kind and her support & encouragement helped us through the whole process of arranging my husband’s funeral. Hayley gave us all the information we needed and was so patient and nothing was too much trouble for her. Everything went just as we had hoped it would and our thanks to Hayley and all the other members of the Doves team.

I can't recommend doves enough thank you to the Ashford team for everything from planning to funeral. I recently lost my teenage son and had no idea about funeral planning or what to do next. And never organised a funeral before. stepping into doves funeral directors i was greeted warmly by Hayley Boyle everything was explained fully i never felt alone and had help every step of the way. The team treated my son with a high level of dignity, care and respect. I will be forever grateful to them for making for making a catastrophic and terrible time easier to manage and for helping me to pull my way through. I would like to say thank you so much especially to Hayley Boyle as she has been incredible throughout the whole process. From helping through the planning, to handing me tissues and listening to me, even personalizing the order of service booklets with my sons artwork, thank you so much you've been a godsend i couldn't have got through this without your help. I have given 5 stars in truth there aren't enough starts in the sky to give Doves to show the immense appreciation and gratitude i feel. I will continue to recommend Doves to everyone. I couldn't have asked for a better funeral directors. Thank you so much.

It was the second time we have used Doves Maidstone and again they were fantastic. From the first contact in the middle of the night informing them of my mums passing, Chris the Funeral Director making sure the day went smoothly and Jackie coordinating everything in the office the service we received was first class. Jackie was great at getting the additional request we had arranged and really took care of us.

This our first time in using Doves services for our loved one and I have to say I will no longer go anywhere else if we sadly have to use them again!! Haley is the most kindest, thoughtful and patient lady she knew instantly what our Mum would have wanted it’s like she knew her!! The love and care she gives to your loved ones and to families makes the passing of a loved one a little bit more bearable. We will be using their services again to arrange our Mum’s memorial at a later date we wouldn’t go anywhere else for this. Thank you again for going above and beyond Haley you are an asset to the company!!
