What people say

★★★★★
We are fairly new to Canterbury and so choosing Lyons Funeral Directors was pure luck. Scott and the team were outstanding and helped us through a difficult time with dignity, compassion and care. They ensured that the day itself ran very smoothly. We will never forget the great respect that was shown to my mum, to me and the family.
★★★★★
We used Lyon’s and son for our Dads/Grandads funeral recently. Absolutely outstanding service. The whole process was made so much more bearable due to their professionalism, empathy and kindness. Thank you all so much.

On April 21st, I sadly lost my best friend after a short battle with cancer, age 33. I cannot recommend C W Lyons more. Alex was treated with the same amount of dignity and care that I would give him. Whilst Alex was in their care, I knew he was being looked after beautifully. His funeral service went exactly as planned, no doubt thanks to the help of the whole team. Thank you so very much for everything the team done, and for looking after Alex. We are incredibly grateful, and you made the worst time of our lives that little bit easier.

I lost my amazing Mum on 15th March this year. I chose C W Lyons because my Mum used them when my Grandad died many years ago. I am so glad that I did. They made the saddest time of my life more bearable. The level of service and care was exceptional and Tom took the time to listen to me and took on board everything I wanted to do for Mum, for which I will be forever grateful.

Our little girls funeral was a beautiful service and we are glad we used CW Lyons. Thank you for making the day special for her.
