Henry Paul Funerals is a family-run, independent funeral director serving the local community from their Pembury branch at 10 High Street, Pembury, Kent. The company was founded in March 2010 by partners Garry Jeffery, Jacqueline Jeffery, and Sean Cawley, with the core belief that a final farewell should reflect the life of the dearly departed and honour their family's last wishes.
The team is dedicated to providing personalised, compassionate funeral care available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Connor and Millie Jeffery continue the family tradition, guiding bereaved families through the process in a truly personal and empathetic way. Every service is conducted to the highest standard, with the utmost attention to detail, whether traditional, themed around the passions of a loved one, or a celebration of life.
Henry Paul Funerals offers a range of services including traditional funeral arrangements, direct unattended cremations, and pre-paid funeral plans provided through Golden Charter, one of the UK's largest funeral plan providers. The Pembury branch is open Monday to Friday, 10:00am to 4:00pm, and is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors.
"Lorraine, who was our point of contact for my husband's funeral, was sympathetic, patient and professional. Everything ran smoothly on the day and the whole team were respectful and caring. We truly couldn't have asked for anything more."
— Therese Wickham (about Lorraine)
"Very discreet, leading us gently through from taking care of mum's body, travelling to the Crematorium, gentleness guiding the ceremony and flowers. They were totally respectful of our emotions and kept us well informed of everything. Quick to answer emails, however trivial, which took the stress out of what is a stressful time."
— Anne Stone
"What an embrace of care and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt totally cared for. They respected our wish for an escort of motorcycles from the undertakers to the cremation, arranged a flag for the coffin, and a standard bearer from the Royal British Legion. I had no idea where to start and they were so knowledgeable and kind."
— Maria Wakeford
"Absolutely outstanding service. Liz and Millie from day 1 were kind and compassionate and answered all our questions within minutes. You even managed to arrange the most amazing F1 racing car flower display, my dad's favourite pastime. We, as a family are SO pleased we chose this impeccable family run business where every staff member really cares about what they do."
— Ian Ridger (about Liz, Millie, Connor)
"Connor and Millie were truly exceptional during one of the most difficult times we've ever faced. They went above and beyond to ensure that every detail we wanted for our friend's funeral was honoured — even accommodating some more unconventional requests without hesitation. Their calm, compassionate approach made a genuinely heartbreaking situation a little easier to bear."
— Lauren Dunacn (about Connor, Millie)
"From the second I stepped through their front doors in Paddock Wood through to the very end of the funeral service for my wife Evie, Henry Paul have been nothing short of magnificent. They even went the extra mile for me the day before the funeral when I realized I hadn't sorted out memorial books — within 30 minutes of my asking, they had arranged to have 2 hard-back books complete with pictures and an inset of the order of service printed for me to pick up."
— Cummins-Slater
