Our independent, family run business has provided a professional and caring service in East Kent of the highest standard for over one hundred years, ensuring individual needs are met during this difficult time. When you experience a bereavement, a funeral for a member of your family is likely to be one of the most difficult days of your life.
Everything your family and friends ever thought about a loved one is expressed on the day. When someone dies it comes as a great shock, sometimes the death may be expected, but nothing prepares you for the emotional shock of losing someone very close. The way you say goodbye can be as individual as the life of the person who has died - there are no rules.

Disbursements are payments that we make to third parties on your behalf to make your funeral arrangement, because of this these costs can vary. The largest third-party cost is usually the crematorium which varies considerably between locations. These third party costs will make up part of the final cost of your funeral arrangement; we do not make any addition to the original third party fee charged.

From start to finish, everyone here has been so kind, professional and honest at what has been a very difficult time. There has been absolutely no pressure to do anything we didn't want to do, and they even went the extra mile to find and play some military drumming over the crematorium speakers as Dad arrived.
It was comforting to know that Dad was cared for and respected at every stage, and that Dad was given a lovely send off thanks to W S Cole and sons ❤

Having to plan a funeral for my Mum after she passed away suddenly was the last thing we wanted to do.
Grant and Jonathan were an oasis of calm professionalism in a sea of sadness and emotion.
They did everything possible to make her funeral a special day that we know she would have been proud of and that honoured her memory.
Nothing was too much trouble and we cannot thank them enough for making what was a difficult time a whole lot easier.
With heartfelt thanks and much gratitude to you both.

Absolutely first class service throughout. Everyone at WS Cole and Son were so kind, calm, friendly and extremely professional.
They took care of absolutely everything, and guided me sympathetically through the whole process.
They were always happy to answer my many questions, and were so kind and reassuring.
Ultimately professional, they made a very difficult time as easy as it could be, I cannot thank them enough.
I was recommended to them by two of my own friends, and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who wants to achieve the best funeral possible for their loved one, but
