Albany Funerals Maidstone

We lost our father unexpectedly and we were not prepared for everything that is involved with planning a funeral. Jim and his team guided us through every step with sensitivity, care and class.
We had looked into using Co-op funerals but were very disappointed with the restrictions and constant talk of money. Jim and his team only knew the word yes and even went above and beyond what we had agreed to ensure my dad had a great farewell. The price was even a little cheaper, so if you ever sadly find yourself needing a funeral director I would really recommend Albany Funerals.
Thank you Jim from myself, my brother and my mum.

Albany funerals was chosen to arrange the funeral of my husband, and following that a Memorial Service two years later with over 160 people attending. Every detail was arranged down to perfection with constant liaison and reassurance. Jo was professional, understanding, and efficient in making sure all our requests were carried out down to the finest detail. Each stage of events was dealt with sympathy and understanding, including liaison with the Church, order of service, hymns, flowers, photos and slides, then following that the arrangement of the Wake and Catering. Jo took the pressure and worry away, and went above and beyond to make sure the days were perfect and ran smoothly, fulfilling the wishes of my husbands instructions of what he wanted at his funeral! I can not recommend this company highly enough. Thank you Jo and all your team for everything you did, I am truly grateful.

Albany funerals we so helpful from the first phone call. We wanted to have the funeral for our son as soon as possible and many other funeral houses were very unhelpful but Albany pulled out all the stops and gave us a funeral that was perfect. Please do not hesitate in using this company, they were so lovely.

Albany was our choice, from a personal recommendation, to arrange my Dad's funeral. From the initial call, collecting Dad's body so carefully while we were grieving, through all the arrangements and the funeral itself. They were kind and caring. Flawlessly professional and so compassionate .

Before we had to arrange the funeral for my dad we found it really difficult to know who we could trust with arranging his funeral. I had a few recommendations for Albany and we couldn’t have been more happy with his day. Every aspect of organising the funeral, the perfect celebrant choice and aftercare was faultless and I would be confident to recommend them to anyone.
Thank you to you all for making this absolutely awful process much easier to handle and offering my family and especially my mum, the support she needed.
Angela, you treated my mum with such compassion and care. It felt like you all really cared for my dad when he was with you. For that I couldn’t thank you enough. You should all be incredibly proud of the job you do for the community and the comfort and outstanding service you provide. Thank you.

I cannot praise Albany's Funerals enough. As soon as I walked through their doors, I felt this could be it, after visiting several other Funeral Directors in Maidstone which felt oppressive and I couldn't get out quick enough. Albany where totally different. Light and airy, warm with welcoming surroundings. The owner Jo and her team where absolutely amazing, warm, caring, understanding, very efficient and helpful. They also organised the flowers, music, Church and Cremation and put me in touch with a local caterer. The Pallbearers were immaculately dressed and respectful. Jo has organised coffee mornings, pub lunches and even trips to the seaside to those who would like to join her and meet others in a similar situation. A rare thing indeed and I was surprised how the group has grown and how much fun, laughter and friendship has come from it. Jo and her company Albany are truly deserving of the accolades and more that she has received.

Dear Albany Funerals

Thank you so much for arranging my husband's funeral. From start to finish your service has been kind, friendly, helpful and professional. I had complete trust on the day that the whole thing would run smoothly and it did, taking so much stress and pressure away from me. I spoke to many members of staff during the planning and every single one dealt with my queries and requests faultlessly. The celebrant, Debbie, recommended by Albany, was also extremely helpful and professional. Debbie grasped my husband's vibrant personality perfectly and presented a wonderful and apt eulogy, and went above and beyond to help me create an audio visual tribute. Many thanks to everyone concerned.
