What people say

★★★★★
From first contact to the last the empathy and compassion has been amazing. Kerry at Knebworth was wonderful and genuinely cared. I was struggling with certain aspects of my husbands wishes but Kerry suggested options that helped me whilst still respecting what my hisband wanted. Sadly this is the second time I have has to use J J Burgess but the service is outstanding and they genuinely do care. I have now taken out my funeral plan with them, knowing that they will help and support my family and make a very difficult time that little bit easier.
★★★★★
Exemplary service from start to finish from JJ Burgess. Kerry was amazing at meeting with us to arrange dad’s funeral and then keeping in touch at every step, she responded promptly to every call and email and nothing appeared too much trouble for her. Every detail was covered by her and explained to us. She even called after the funeral to check in with us- she is an absolute credit to JJ Burgess and incredible at her job. The funeral crew on the day of dads funeral were amazing, so calm and professional - even when the church service overran! We were grateful for their calmness and professio

JJ Burgess were professional but empathetic at the worst time of our lives. We had to arrange a funeral for our 20 year old son. Kerry was excellent, caring and kind making sure everything was as best it could be in awful circumstances. On the day the team effortlessly organised the day with care and dignity. Couldn't recommend highly enough .
★★★★★
Throughout the entire process, from the initial discussions to the final arrangements, every member of the team went above and beyond to be considerate and understanding. Their commitment to ensuring everything was handled smoothly was both reassuring and deeply appreciated. Sincere thanks to Kerry and the entire team for all the support, compassion, and care they provided during such a difficult time.
★★★★★
Amazing service and staff. I cannot recommend J.J.Burgess highly enough after my dad's recent funeral. All the staff were so professional and caring. Kerry at Knebworth Branch was so wonderful for the arranging. The service and care this company provided made an extremely difficult time so much easier to bear for my mum and I. The funeral honestly could not have gone any better and we are so grateful.
