Bennett's has provided a first class service throughout. Booking a funeral is always difficult but Josh made this a stress free process from the start.
Everything was organised professionally and sensitively for us and we were kept involved throughout the process.
My family and I want to personally thank Josh for all of his assistance and guidance. Thank you!

Myself and the whole family cannot recommend Jane and her team highly enough. From the moment of engagement, they delivered a sincere and professional service right through to the end of the service. I always felt Jane was there for us no matter what day of the week. She was a great source of advice and support for all of us. We are so grateful to Bennetts for giving Peter such a fantastic send off. Thank you Jane, Gary, Josh and Sally the Celebrant.

Choosing a funeral Director is not a pleasant experience by far at such a devastating time in your lives. I have been to many funerals over the years but I have never met such a group of professional and highly passionate people for the job that they do. From the moment of enquiry, Josh and the team never even attempted to sell us anything like many do. They just gave us the options and left us to decide. They went the extra mile for us and in taking care of Mum ready for her final journey. On the day they were prompt on arrival and took care of all of us with excellence. Even throughout the ceremony

I would just like to thank Tina and all at Bennett’s for looking after my father in laws funeral. At these very difficult times it was comforting to know he was being so well cared for , and that you all did your utmost to accommodate any wishes we had even though these may have been restricted due to the current situation.
Thank you again for your care .

I called three different funeral parlours to get an idea of what I needed to do and from the moment that I first spoke to Jane she sounded so sincere that I decided to go with Bennett’s. They didn’t let us down, in these difficult times Jane was professional, efficient and above all else caring. I felt comforted that Dad was being taken care of and our wishes wherever possible taken into consideration. The service itself, I felt only professionalism and respect from all involved, not only for our service but also for the service straight after ours. It was an unattended service, it only reassured

We had heard that Bennetts were a phenomenal funeral directors and they certainly are and didn't disappoint at all. This was our first time directly dealing with a funeral directors, and we just wanted to say that you have all been absolutely wonderful. All of the staff members were so sweet, kind and helpful. You have made an otherwise sad time so much easier. Every little detail was taken care of from organising a registrar to getting the coffin that we wanted. Often people warn you that other funeral directors often take advantage of people in a vulnerable time to spend more money, but Bennetts
