I couldn’t have felt more at ease with the arrangements for my Dad’s funeral. I must first mention Kelly, the funeral arranger, an incredible person who manages to balance the highest level of professionalism with empathy, kindness and compassion. I felt like I was with a friend, which is exactly what I needed at an extremely difficult time in life. I made the decision to see Dad, after a lot of thought, and I made the right one - the embalming team did a wonderful job and it felt so natural to be with Dad. On the day itself, Donna, the funeral director, was amazing and carried out her role with such dignity and respect, but with love and kindness, too. Thank you so much to Kelly and the rest of the team, I will never forget how brilliant you are.

The funeral arranger Kelly provided amazing support and advice to me and my mother for my father's funeral.
The funeral director Donna came to our home with Nick to collect the body of my father and were very respectful and dignified in performing a difficult task. Donna conducted the funeral procession and the process was flawless.
The hearse and limousine were beautiful vehicles and the drivers and bearers performed their jobs perfectly.
I would certainly recommend Kelly as a wonderful funeral arranger. She has amazing humanity. She is also a qualified funeral director.
I would also recommend Donna as an excellent funeral director.
A big thank you for the help making my fathers service a wonderful tribute to him.

Wonderful Service!!
After the passing of our Mum we contacted Kelly at Ashdown. Kelly provided us with an absolutely First Class and caring service throughout the whole sad process, she was always available for viewings and even opened up special for us to see Mum, she answered all of my many questions with a kind heart & professional attitude and nothing was too much trouble. Kelly also helped us arrange a fabulous video tribute & set up a ‘Just Giving’ page for MacMillan Cancer Support.
On the day of the funeral Matthew & the other members of staff helped us through the difficult day and gave Mum a wonderful and fitting send off.
This is a genuine review and on behalf of my family I would like to thank Kelly and the staff at Ashdown Funeral Service for the excellent service they have provided us.

We just wanted to say a very heartfelt thankyou to you for the way you dealt with our grand daughters funeral. You went above and beyond for our whole family. You took such special care of our precious baby. From the first day Kelly has been professional, caring, understanding, supportive and truly wonderful. You made the whole process so much easier for us. Kelly was always at the end of the phone if we needed her. Matthew and Grant were absolutely professional on the day. They were both very respectful, polite and understanding. Even after the service Kelly has kept in contact to make sure our family are coping. Sasha who conducted the service on the day was so lovely and again she was caring, understanding and respectful.
Our grand daughters final day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. We would highly recommend Ashdown funeral services to all our family and friends. Thankyou again to Kelly,Matthew, grant and sasha for all that you have done for our family.

After losing my mum very suddenly and never arranged a funeral before, the whole process felt very daunting. Kelly at Ashdowns, Belvedere was simply amazing, my absolute saviour. She put my mind at ease and offered me such a professional and personal service. She was wonderful with my children and she went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day. Matthew and the rest of the team were absolutely fantastic on the day and they couldn't do enough to make us feel special at a very difficult time. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much for taking the very best care of my mum.

Kelly at Ashdown Belvedere made this very personal and emotional time for us a very accepting and easy process. From first meeting Kelly till the end she was very considerate, dignified, professional and above all very caring towards our situation. Would highly recommend Kelly, her team and all the services that they offer at Ashdown Belvedere.
