Being a funeral director myself, I went to a family funeral yesterday at Thanet crematorium. WS Cole and son, not knowing I was there (no one to impress) were excellent, they did a fantastic service and nothing seemed too much trouble. The celebrant Jason Ankers who would have been contacted by WS Cole was really really good, he was so good I asked afterwards if he knew the family personally, he is fantastic. I would wholeheartedly recommend WS Cole and son uniforms were clean cars were spotless and staff were friendly polite and professional
★★★★★
Grant and the team have been superb. We were recommended by a colleague of mine to contact WS Cole when our mum died and we couldn't have had a better experience. Grant was there to assist every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble and all the family felt confident that mum would have an excellent send off. There were some unique aspects to the funeral and the wake and everything we wanted to happen was achieved. The respect and care shown to mum, in death was exemplary and very comforting. We really couldn't have asked for more.

I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Jonathan, the funeral director, recently, and I was completely blown away by the exceptional care and compassion he showed to the family. As a celebrant from Leeds, I’ve seen many services, but Jonathan’s professionalism and warmth truly stood out. Despite the long-distance trip, the vehicles were in pristine condition, and the staff were not only impeccably presented but also incredibly kind and supportive. Jonathan’s attention to detail and approach made a difficult day so much more bearable. It was an honour to work alongside such a dedicate

We recently contacted WS Cole & Son about my father's funeral. I was so grateful for the care and compassion showed to me and my family at a very difficult time. They took the time to talk us through the process and were very flexible to make sure we had the style of service that we were looking for. We felt reassured throughout that dad was being well looked after and I would like to thank the team at WS Cole & Son, the service was beautiful. I would highly recommend WS Cole & Son.

The help, understanding and compassion that we were shown throughout our journey of sadness was outstanding. Craig took care of us with gentle respect every step of the way. He listened to our families wishes and organised everything to ensure it ran seamlessly in a dignified and caring way. Nothing was too much trouble in ensuring the best for our loved one and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Coles. To Coles, 'thank you' doesn't even begin to cover the gratitude that we feel, at one of the saddest events of our lives.
