Benedict Funeral Directors make every effort to support you through a difficult day and to ensure your expectation are met. The following are some of the Testimonials we have received. We would like to express our warmest gratitude for the past weeks. The compassion you showed when dealing with our family in such difficult circumstances was such a comfort.
This will naturally follow the criteria of the religion / faith. For example if your loved one was a devout practising Roman Catholic you may wish his/her body to rest over night in the Catholic Church in front of the tabernacle, with the Requiem Mass following the next day. After this your loved one will be transported to a local burial site or to a crematorium.
Chapel of Rests / viewing rooms are available at both our Henlow and Houghton Regis funeral homes. Spending time with your loved one is something a great deal of people request prior to the funeral. We are happy to make our Chapels of Rest / viewing rooms available to you by appointment between the hours of 9am and 5pm on weekdays.
If your loved one has died in Bedfordshire or North Hertfordshire and you want to repatriate them to their country of origin or citizenship, we can help. Our repatriation service takes care of it all. Simply tell us which country you want your loved one repatriated to and we will make it happen. Collecting the deceased from their current location (home or hospital) and taking them into our care.

Benedict funeral directors are a very caring, supportive company. It feels like your visiting friends. Made a great connection with all the staff.
Its simple, no hidden costs, it's what you see is what you get. When you need them, they are only at the end of the phone.

We cannot thank Joseph, Nigel and the team enough for being so caring, thoughtful and compassionate during this difficult time. The service they gave went above and beyond our expectations and they couldn’t do enough for us to ensure everything was perfect on the day. The team were respectful, professional and really helped us through the entire day, ensuring whatever we’d asked for all went to plan. Nigel’s service on the day was the perfect send off for my Dad.
They really were there whenever we needed them and I would highly recommended Benedict’s to anyone having to go through this

Thank you to the whole team for making such a difficult experience much easier. You were helpful and efficient during the preparation yet remained considerate throughout. We knew that we could call you at anytime if we had any concerns or problems. On the day itself, your service was professional and impeccable. Your staff were friendly and made the whole family feel comfortable on the day. I would strongly recommend you to others.
