I would like to sincerely thank Ashdown Undertakers located in Blackfen, Sidcup, Kent, for making the funeral arrangements of my late wife Monica. Special thanks to Clair and Kelly for all their help and assistance during this very devasting and difficult period for me, without which I don't know how I would have survived this personal ordeal! Their kind attention and personal touches to all the details and making sure the funeral service went ahead as planned, despite some outside issues was a grateful relief to me and my family.All the above helped to make this a very special day to remember my late wife Monica.I would not have any hesitation in recommending Ashdown's toany family who need's the extra personal care and attention at a very difficult and sad time in their lives.A very gratefulMike Mein

Wonderful support received by the lovely Liz at Orpington who is kind, caring and so professional. The service which was suggested and arranged was perfect for my Dad. The respect and dignity all of the staff showed was commendable. It made what was a sad and emotional time very bearable and worry free, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

The all round service provided by Doves was a pleasure to experience. The warmth, advice and attention to our needs was second to none and made the process seamless. Their professionalism and care on the day was a source of comfort for us all. I would undoubtedly recommend them to those in need of their services.

When my father died some 23 years ago we used Doves services, so it wasn’t a difficult choice to make when our mother recently died. The service Karen and her team gave was perfect, keeping us informed throughout, offering her best attention at all times and even after the service. Attention to detail was very apparent , even to the point that the funeral cars passed where my father was at rest, a great idea Karen. Many thanks for all you did on the day.

Liz and John showed utmost respect and kindness throughout our dealing with them and many family members commented on the how appropriate and lovely the service was. Ben was excellent as celebrant and understood the family's wishes completely. Would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Doves.
