A truly magnificent family business. Lucy the branch manager at Biggin Hill branch was just amazing as was Lucy and Alan on the day. Thank you to all for looking after us at the hardest time. xx

Keith Nixon 26th Jan 2020

I was very pleased with the service I received when arranging my wife's funeral. Lucy, in the Biggin Hill office, was friendly, kind, considerate and very helpful explaining the options and costs. She also pointed out other things that I needed to consider, such as the type of service, decoration of the coffin, order of service and visual tribute. On the day of the funeral the staff accompanying the hearse and limousine ensured that everything went without a hitch. Overall I think the service offered by Mears was excellent.

    Lucy at the Biggin Hill Branch was lovely. She was very easy to deal with, professional, understanding and thoughtful. For our funeral we had time restrictions as family had to come from abroad, yet the whole process went smoothly. The pall bearers were very professional and discreet.

    My mother passed away on 27th June and the Funeral was arranged for the 25th July. It was carried out in a most dignified and and caring way. Funeral Director
    contacted me previously to make sure the arrangements were as specified as did the chosen Minister. Both were friendly and professional and the Service was very
    caring. I will not hesitate to tell others who may seek to use your services. Many thanks to you all from my family.

    Flowers not as stated, 6 was more of a 4 seater for normal size adults. Non-Vicar was ok, but excessively expensive at £295 for 15 minutes actual operative work/speech although this was not required. Funeral location was good & tidy & clean. How can it be justified to increase the coffin cost by £150 with a very slightly longer cheap timber extention? Additionally, it was mentioned to me that there were severe markings to show the coffin or its handles were second hand & the handles were not those ordered & paid for!

    Lisa McDermott replied
    This client choose to use our celebrant package, and seems to have forgotten that for the £295.00 we provided, in addition to the funeral service, a two hour consultation, 10 order of services and 20% discount on funeral flowers.

    The length of service was determined by our client during the consultation.

    The increase cost of the coffin was as due to the special delivery of an outsized coffin. As agreed with our client.

    There were no severe markings on the coffin and defiantly no second hand handles.

  • 5 Alex King 26th May 2019

    very sympathetic and understanding, no hard sell, everything explained and any details clarified: phone calls came when they were expected, meetings were on time, suggestions were offered with a view to the smooth running of the funeral: Mears contacted any 'third party' to help with the organisation of events, such as organist, priest and others: Mears had a 'light touch' and stuck to the agenda, made things happen when my mind was occupied by any number of other death related activities - Thank you very much, very professional and no complications, highly recommended.

  • 5 Caroline Mills 1st Mar 2019

    Arranging a funeral isn’t something pleasant but with the help of Lucy from the Biggin Hill branch it was made that little bit easier. The day itself went extremely smoothly and everyone was so helpful and caring. I would definitely recommend Mears.

  • 5 Peter Palin 2nd Nov 2017

    Our dear son, Sean, died suddenly in Spain. Obviously we were devastated and knew not what to do.
    His partner in Spain, by chance, on the internet, contacted Mears Repatriation - London Biggin Hill Airport. We subsequntly met them, and initially impressed, agreed that they'd not only bring him home, but carry out the funeral as well.
    Steve Mears outlined the procedure, showing professionalism, compassion and efficiency, in perfect balance. Then passing us to General Manager Lisa McDemott, the painful process carried on in the same manner. Exemplary throughout is the only way to describe this company.
    We felt that if they could have taken our pain away, they would have. Thank you all.
