We can not thank Diane, Phil and the team enough for the care, love and personal attention they gave our family after the loss of our beautiful mum - they were extremely professional but very approachable and ‘normal’ nothing was to much trouble and no question was ever to small to ask -tney treated mum with the greatest  of care and dignity and made a very difficult, distressing, upsetting time easier for us all as a family to cope with - we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this amazing family company  to others

    Excellent personal and compassionate care from Dianne and the team. I would highly recommend them to look after you at what is an emotional time. Dianne is very empathetic and also professional. The funeral went smoothly and was a great send off for my Dad. Their help in making this happen was a huge part of it. Dianne guess the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy and communicates well with the family.

    Absolutely fantastic service from Dianne and Phill, they made a stressful time so much easier and we provided Dad with a funeral service that was just so personal. Nothing was too much trouble, thank you so much Dianne & Phill

  • 5 Carol White 3rd Oct 2022

    I would always be more than happy to recommend Bernard Kennedy & Daughter. Genuine care and compassion shown throughout at a hugely distressing time, and we gave mum her funeral and did it our way with all the help we needed. Mums ashes were back at home with us the following day.
    I looked into another alternative seen on TV due to our circumstances, prior to using Bernard and Dianne. When I found out how they went about their business and how our lovely mum would have been dealt with, there was no way we were using them.

  • 5 Moira Kean 7th Sep 2022

    If Carlsberg were to design a funeral director, it would be Dianne. From first to last, she guided us through the process, always bearing our needs in mind. We did ask for some unorthodox things and she was always happy to make them happen. Thank you Dianne.

  • 4 Janet Fox 18th May 2022

    They were very caring and professional , there care of Denis and ourselves was excellent . Everything went very smoothly .

  • 5 Sandra Barlow 18th May 2022

    My family and I cannot praise Dianne and her team highly enough for their professionalism and care they took with the death of my father.  Prior to his death I was able to speak to Dianne at length about the funeral process and when he eventually passed away, nothing was too much trouble for Dianne. We could ring her at any time, day or night, and the speed in which she dealt with other agencies to get his funeral arranged within 7 days just showed to me how much other agencies thought of her.  On the day of the funeral her team were wonderful, dealing with everything.  At the most saddest time in a persons life, you want a Dianne around you.
