Ashton's provide an extremely professional service from beginning to end. We used them on two occasions, once 20 years ago for our dad and again last month for our mum. The overall assistance, expert knowledge and care throughout the whole process by the team was commendable. Our friends have also used them and have had the same experience. I would willingly recommend them.

I was at the Kennington branch in London to arrange my brother's funeral, deborah whom I only met once very professional and helped a great deal. Joan who I had most contact with such a pleasant lady and very good at her job, nothing was too much for her and Stephanie the funeral director on the day also another amazing person who took time to make that day as easy as possible. All of these people helped me so much and both dignity and Ashtons should be proud to have these wonderful people on their team truly a pleasure to have had them help and guide me through such a stressful time.

They kept me informed of everything. On the day we couldn’t have asked for more. They even gave me a big framed picture of my dad and a special box with an album so we could save all the cards, we are very grateful to them as they made the day special. A big thank you from the family and friends of my dad xx
