"So professional. So Kind. So helpful. You feel like everything is being taken care of for you."
— Izabela Heron-Adams
"Alex was nothing short of professional and efficient whilst having a great (at times funny) manner with us...that was only used as and when appropriate - this helped all of us during a very emotional time. Alex guided us all the way but allowed us the freedom to do as Mum would have liked. The service went smoothly...Alex nearby to step in if we were unable to read our parts."

I have attended 2 funerals recently the staff was extremely rude and unapproachable. The whole thing was very rushed and unprofessional in every way. Binks also have extra hidden chargers and don’t comply with time keeping I’m very disappointed with there services and would never recommend them in the future

I would not recommend to use this company. We used them many years ago for my grandma and they were very good. This time we used them we are not happy. We felt they had no empathy at all and felt at times they were rude. The communication was terrible and when we contacted them to ask any questions it felt like an inconvenience to them. The funeral was spoiled overall by them bringing a private ambulance and driving in front of everyone in it. It looked horrible and everyone was asking why it was there.

Kelly and Alex provided a wonderful service and send off for my mum in law. We cannot thank them enough. We would highly recommend them for their professionalism helpfulness and friendliness.

Mum passed recently at the ripe old age of 96 and we chose (wisely as it turned out) to use J W Binks & sons to take care of the funeral . Alex Binks was the consummate professional from start to finish , we were treated with sympathy and care throughout the whole process from start to finish. I would recommend this company to anyone, without any shadow of doubt. Thank you to all at J W Binks for making a difficult process as comfortable and reassuring as it possibly could be.
