Death is never easy for anyone. Being a married couple we have come across death in our life. However, losing our baby boy Beau a week before Christmas has broken us more than we could have ever imagined. We were lucky enough for Colin to carryout a funeral for one of our family members two years ago. Whilst dropping off something previously he mentioned that he leaves a night light on for all the little angels in his care. This resonated with our family and little did we know that we would need it. As you can imagine in hospital saying goodbye to your little man would never be easy but knowing Colin would look after him, made it possible for us to go home. Throughout the planning of the funeral, Colin did everything to make the day special, be it arranging a private car for just mum, dad and baby, to picking out the right celebrant. Walking in with my husband as he carried our boys casket and making sure we were okay and had our alone time at the end of the ceremony. We also had a charity go to Medway Funeral Directors to do hand and feet casting and the review they gave of Colin was outstanding with the care and attention he took with our baby. I don't think we could ever truly express or show our gratitude how much Colin has helped throughout the whole process. And given even after all of this when the funeral was over and my husband shook his hand and handed him a roll of money, he simply refused and said that it was his honour.

When my husband of 60 years died, the thought of arranging his cremation was really daunting. I went to see Colin at Strood Medway funeral director’s and I couldn’t have wished for a kinder and more professional person to guide me every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble and he gave us as much of his time as we needed - never ever rushing us. He organised everything and was extremely efficient and kept us in the loop as he did it. He chose Yvonne to be our celebrant and again she did an excellent job meeting with us and really understanding my husband’s life and she delivered this so well in the Eulogy. We knew we could trust Colin to deliver a first class service and he did from beginning to end. I cannot recommend him more highly. Many many thanks from our family - you helped us through a very sad experience. Anne Healy

Based on our experience in April '24, after the passing of our dear Mum, Colin and his team at Medway Funeral Directors were First Class! Their patience, experience and professionalism shone through making what can be a difficult time so much easier for us. From a church funeral to crematorium service and then onto the wake all the pre-planning and advice offered by Colin we acted on worked out so well and importantly kept us on track and on time. We were so pleased Mum had the send off she had wished for, so thanks again Colin to you and your team.

I used the best funeral directors to manage my 106 year old mum's funeral, they organized everything for me, ordering the flowers, creating the order of service, that relieved the pressure on me to produce it. Colin and his team organised everything and I cannot thank them enough. It was a perfect day, the whole experience went without a hitch.

Medway Funeral Directors was recommended for my mother’s funeral, and we were not disappointed. Colin was considerate and professional, we felt that we were in safe hands. Colin was patient when discussing different options with us, nothing was too much trouble. The service went very well. I have no hesitation in recommending Colin and Medway Funeral Directors.

Thank you Colin

Dear Emma Sorry, not too good with words, but just wanted to say thank you so very much. Couldn’t have wished for a better team, yourself, along with B, not forgetting the rest of the team, to give Mum the perfect send off. Everyone commented on what a lovely service it was, also thanks for being so kind and special, making me feel a lot more at ease on the sad day. I miss mum so very much, but know i got to say goodbye in a way that meant so much. Thanks again, take care of yourself, with love

Dear Colin & Team

Dear Emma and to all of you at Chatham Medway Funeral Service I just wanted to say a Big Thank You for all of the care you gave to my mum MAP. Emma from the moment we did the arrangements, to making sure mum was dressed, had her make up and hair done. For all the support when we came to view mum, we were given so much time and compassion, to every last detail to the end of her service and more, you have been amazing. I cannot thank you enough for giving my mum, such a dignified send off, with all the little extras. I will definitely be recommending you to others and will definitely be using you again, hopefully not too soon though. Hoping you all have a lovely Christmas. D, A and all the family

Thank you

To Emma & Team, I just want to say a big big thank you again for everything you have done for me and my children at this very sad time. I honestly had no idea what i was doing, and you made it all so easy, even in the strange and uncertain time with the virus. Emma, i absolutely hate talking on the phone, gives me so much anxiety, but that very quickly went away with how kind and caring you are. You are amazing, and i thank you again and again for all your help and support, and to everyone at Medway Funeral Directors, just a massive thank you for helping us at this heartbreaking time. I’m so so grateful. Lots of love MW……
