Sullivan & Son Independent Funeral Service

The consistently excellent reviews for Alex, Paul and Julie at Sullivan & Son are well deserved and I can add another following our recent experience. From the very first telephone conversation they provided professional, helpful and respectful support for my family as we arranged Mum's funeral. The logistics were complicated by a separate church service in Dover and burial in Surrey but everything went smoothly. Alex and Paul ensured we were comfortable with the arrangements at every stage and provided helpful advice throughout. Their costs were very reasonable and overall they provided us with great value for money.

I have known of Sullivan and Son for over ten years and they were the unquestionable choice to conduct my mother's funeral in January 2018 when she died aged 101.

I had one meeting with Alex Sullivan to set things in motion and was most impressed with his unpretentious and efficient handling of all the necessary details. Alex and Paul Sullivan (who officiated at the funeral) are warm, compassionate, obliging and, quite simply, very likable personalities.

I could not have been more satisfied with their service.

My wife died recently and, upon recommendation, I asked Paul Sullivan to look after her funeral. From the start, he was extremely supportive, giving me the benefit of his obvious experience in a very friendly way. He explained what needed to be done and, where there were alternatives, he gave me the pros and cons and let me decide. He was willing to act as the link with all the relevant third parties and the quality of his "extras" such as the floral tribute and service sheet printing was excellent. It all resulted in a thoroughly fitting tribute to my wife. A first-class service. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

I found Sullivan & Son online searching for a funeral director when my Mother recently passed away. I wanted to use a family run business and the reviews are excellent, so the choice was very easy.
We couldn’t have been more impressed by the professionalism and care given to us all as a family. Nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend Sullivan & Son to anyone needing to arrange a funeral.
Thank you Paul, your kindness will be remembered.

I can't recommend this Company enough, the organisation of my late Half Brothers funeral went without a hitch from the first visit to Sullivan and Sons through to leaving the Chapel of Rest. I am incredibly grateful for your kindness and professionalism throughtout. Many thanks Sandra Lyons

We were very grateful to Sullivan and Son for their care and kindness after the death of my uncle. They took care of everything and made sure that everything went smoothly on the day of the funeral and during the planning.They were very courteous and respectful throughout the process and were constantly available whenever we had questions. Highly recommended.

Having used Sullivan and Son's twice in the last two years I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paul and his team. From start to finish they give support in a professional and respectful manner. Rather than a fixed funeral plan you are able to select your individual requirements so that you can create your own bespoke funeral within your budget.

My sister and I could not fault the professional, compassionate and efficient service from Paul Sullivan and staff. We had very little time to make arrangements after our mother passed away following a terminal diagnosis just over two months ago.
We knew she wanted a simple cremation but had not had the opportunity to plan it or discuss it with anyone. One phone call on the day she died was all it took for Paul to guide us through this difficult and painful process and reassure us that our mum was in very safe hands. Thank you.
