Julie from Sittingbourne branch of Doves is a wonderful caring person.My brother our families and my self cannot thank her enough for her caring ways she had from start to finish. Julie has made the whole experience of saying goodbye to our lovely mum a lot more easier to bear. Today I picked up mums ashes to bring her home for a few days and again Julie was her caring self. The Funeral was done exactly how we wanted it to be, small but very personal to us all. So thank you again Doves of Sittingbourne you get my recommendation.

Our Dad passed away 5 years ago and we went to Doves for his funeral service and was very happy. We had no hesitation to contact them again for our Mum when the time came. The team at Doves are professional and caring . The team of Julie and Trevor and the pall bearers were very supportive at this time. We were lucky to have Annie Love who conducted the service and helped with the planning. Thank you for your kindness and support.

From the moment I contacted Julie at Doves in Sittingbourne she was caring, compassionate and genuinely cared that we got the best service and best day we could possibly have. Chris was our funeral director on the day and he did absolutely everything possible to guide us through the day, helping us along and giving us support and reassurance. Going through a family bereavement is a tough enough situation for anyone, but the team at Doves try to support you and give you as much help as they can. I would recommend them 100%.

Hi Julie We would like to thank you & all at Doves on behalf of our family for arranging our beloved Mother's funeral. You & your colleagues assisted in a professional caring & thoughtful way. The funeral director was also very kind, assisting & guiding the proceedings in respectful & thoughtful manner. Obitus were also extremely helpful finding the music required to match the selection we had chosen. I would definitely recommend Doves Funeral Company & if necessary use your services again. Thank you for your first class service and compassion shown at this very sad time. Jacqueline & John

We recently lost my grandfather and Doves has been incredible from the moment we contacted them. I honestly can't thank Julie, Chris, Colin and Glenn enough - they truly went above and beyond to make this process easier for my gran, mum and myself. They truly treated us like we were family and I will always be so grateful to them for this. I highly recommend Doves should you need to contact a funeral directors - we were very new to everything and Julie and Chris were extremely kind, patient and always there to answer the phone when I had a question. Thank you all so much for bringing some lig
