The support given was thoughtful and intuitive. The care and respect for my mum was faultless and much appreciated by myself, and many guests, who remarked it was a lovely service.

    The staff at Chittendens in Folkestone made the process of arranging our farewell to Christina carefree. They were attentive and made sure all of our needs were met. We couldn't have asked for a better service. This is the second time in a year that our family have had to use their service and we would definitely use them again when the need arises. I would most definitely recommend them to others.
