Albany Funerals Maidstone

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Matthew and everyone at Albany for making such a difficult time so beautiful. From our first meeting with Matthew to the day of my beloved wife's funeral the care, support and respect I received was incredible. Everything went so smoothly the celebrant, Kathryn , was amazing, she spoke with such feeling it was as if she had known Jane and myself personally. I would absolutely recommend Albany to anyone having to arrange a funeral. This is an amazing company who really care.

If you're inundated with options and considering choosing a FUNERAL COMPANY for your loved ones, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALBANY FUNERALS. They were recommended to us and I'm super pleased we used them. The team makes all our funeral plans effortlessly easy. From the collection of the body at the Hospital to negotiating a burial land with the council, and all other nitty-gritty, we didn't break a single sweat.The team are stupendously efficient, they were helpful, and very proactive. They are incredibly thorough and their level of attention to details is second to none! Honestly, I can't praise this company enough. Thank you, Team Albany.

We highly recommend Albany Funerals in every aspect of their business. From meeting Jo at our first visit, through to collecting our Mother’s ashes from Angela and Matthew, every care was taken to make sure that all went well. Jo’s experience of funeral services locally meant that we were able to find the perfect venue for our Mother’s celebration of life. From the general management of the whole process down to the smallest detail of interpersonal sensitivity, this team could not have done better. Thanks to the Albany team for their excellence and genuine kindness.

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.

Albany funerals - a breath of fresh air. We wanted a family run business and this is what Albany Funerals is. Everyone we dealt with including Angela, Jo and Matthew were so supportive and helpful. The rooms are so fresh, light, welcoming and peaceful.Angela expertly and sensitively guided us through the entire process for my dad so that we were able to give him the fitting tribute he deserved. Nothing was too much trouble at what was a very difficult time for us. We were so relieved that we chose such a caring team to take care of my dad for his final journey. Their recommendations for our Funeral Celebrant and bespoke florist were spot on. Even setting up a tribute page where donations could be made to our chosen charity and enabling live streaming of the funeral for those unable to join us were expertly dealt with.Angela and Jo were always available to respond to any questions we had throughout the entire process.The day of the funeral went so smoothly, it was very dignified and respectful thanks to Matthew and his team.Thank you so much Albany Funerals Maidstone.

Albany organised my mother in law’s funeral which took place yesterday. I would highly recommend them. From start to finish Angela was warm, empathetic, reassuring, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and she took care of every detail. The rest of the team were great too - the florist, Mark the celebrant and the pallbearers were all very professional. The visual tribute (photo show with music) and the Much Loved tribute website were very well organised and a nice touch. On behalf of the family we’d like to say a big thank-you for giving our lovely Viv a send-off she would have been proud to see.

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.Mrs M Wild

Dear Albany FuneralsThank 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.Lyn Dive

I highly recommend Albany Funerals in Maidstone. Their caring support was invaluable and nothing was too much trouble. The floral tributes they arranged for us were beautiful and their staff so very helpful and compassionate. It made a very special occasion of an emotional day.

Having sadly lost two close family members within close succession, we have become well acquainted with Albany Funerals over recent weeks.Angela, Matthew and the team constantly went the extra mile to deliver an amazing personal service that made a very difficult and challenging experience much more bearable. Throughout all of the calls, face-to-face meetings and the in-depth planning that was involved, the care, compassion, understanding and thoughtfulness shown was second to none.Working closely with Angela from day one, her unwavering professionalism and shared determination to get every aspect of the service right, along with her ability to display such great empathy, not only enabled us to deliver our final farewells with perfection, but also helped navigate us through the immense sense of loss and grief that we were experiencing. Whether it be her recommendations around service style and content, floral tributes, or a celebrant - she got everything 100% right. They were as perfect as the day itself, which Matthew and his team delivered with impeccable style and grace.A final special thank you also to John, who from the very outset demonstrated a level of care, respect and dignity to us, which was delivered in equal measure to our loved ones under his care.What you all did for us will never be forgotten.
