"His parting gesture to us was signing 'thank you' in British sign language which meant a great deal to us all. If you are looking for someone to listen, care and learn about your loved one Laura is the person to contact and help make all the arrangements so you can say goodbye to your loved one."
— Val Dudley (about Laura)
"She telephoned me within fifteen minutes of his passing, and made herself available to speak to me face-to-face at her office within thirty minutes of it. She guided me expertly through the initial actions that I needed to take... all mourners were very happy with all aspects of it, and furthermore mentioned that they were all very pleased to have attended it."
— David Baird (about Laura Permaul)
"I experienced the best possible support throughout an almost month-long painful journey after the death of my beloved wife. I will be forever grateful to the people at J. H. Kenyon for everything they have done to ease my pain and will always remember the beautiful service they organised."
— Vassil Vassilev (about Laura)
"Speaking with Antonio the day before really supported my wishes of what I wanted to do when my husband came home for his send off. Absolutely touched my soul. Their Karma was deeply felt by all who attended. Fabio's parting gesture to us was signing 'thank you' in British sign language which meant a great deal to us all."
— Eve McDougall (about Antonio Ayala)
"The team supported me every step of the way and even let me run through my own eulogy for feedback and advice which came with absolute love and respect. I shall forever be grateful for helping and holding me upright through what was the most emotional and hardest day of my life."
— Nadine Schoen
"From the moment I spoke to Laura on the phone she was kind, professional, accommodating and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble... Laura never once tried to sell me anything. She worked within the budget we had and called in favours to make the whole thing possible. A beautifully dressed gentleman who was again kind, dignified and understanding. Utterly respectful of what he was delivering and our emotions. I could not praise Laura enough. If only everyone connected with funerals could have her empathy, priorities, skill and kindness."
— Alice Brickwood (about Laura)
