What people say

★★★★★
Amanda at Doves in Staplehurst was so kind, supportive and helpful to us. She explained everything very clearly and answered all of our questions. She was available to us, despite it being over the Christmas and New Year period, at any time when we needed to speak to her. Also I want to thank Chris, the Funeral Director, who was also extremely helpful in explaining what would happen on the day and answered all our questions beforehand. I would not hesitate to recommend Doves and the Staplehurst branch in particular.
★★★★★
A seamless service from Doves. Amanda at the Staplehurst office couldn't have been more helpful in the planning Ryan who directed the funeral on the day and the other staff members helped enormously to ensure the plans ran smoothly and the family were treated with the utmost courtesy and respect at a difficult time. Excellent service.

Alice who sorted out all our technology problems with videos and live streaming to Australia. Finally Chris and his team on the day of the funeral, Thank you I have nothing but praise for you all
★★★★★
From the moment my sister spoke to Anisa at Doves she knew that she was the person to assist us with the arrangements for our brother. I am pleased to say that I had exactly the same feeling when I first attended their premises in Staplehurst to ask some practical questions without the rest of the family present. Every single interaction was handled with the utmost care, consideration, and professionalism. We needed to feel like we had some control in the situation and were dealing with someone who understood some of the requests we made and did everything possible to accommodate our requests,
★★★★★
Diane at the Staplehurst branch of Doves was kind and sympathetic at a very difficult time for my family. She was professional, respectful and talked us through every step of the process. Nothing was too much trouble and she made a very sensitive time much easier to deal with. The help and support of the team at Doves left me in no doubt that my Dad would be well looked after and that every effort would be made to give him the funeral he deserved. I would have no hesitation in recommending Doves Funeral Directors.
