Testimonials

I was devastated to have lost my beloved husband at the age of 52 and did not know where to start in terms of Funeral Directors. A good, personal friend of mine recommended Paul J King and I implicitly trust his judgement and I am so glad that I did. From the first meeting with Martin at the South Woodham Ferrers branch, I knew my late husband would be in good hands. Struggling to come to terms with our loss, Martin made the whole process seem much easier to bear and listened carefully to our detailed requests and treating us with the utmost respect and leaving 'no stone unturned'. My daughter chose the most perfect casket, of a fishing theme, which suited my late husband so well as he was an avid fisherman. Every detail was taken into account. Then we were handed over to the lovely Lesley, who made us feel that nothing was ever too much trouble. When we visited my late husband in the Chapel of Rest, they made sure the candles were lit and he was presented so nicely and again, with the utmost respect. We were given a link to the Tribute page, which is such a brilliant idea and allowed family and friends to donate to the two hospices of our choice, and where we could make comments, add photos and also light a virtual candle, which is a wonderful idea and family and friends embraced it. On the day itself, the service could not have been more fitting and more apt. Every single detail was taken care of, from the visual display to the pallbearers and the drivers, who were so professional, polite and smart. Again, every detail was taken care of and I was able to relax and focus on the service without worrying. I just want to thank Paul J King and his staff, Lesley, Martin, the pallbearers and the wonderful drivers for all your kindness, caring nature and true professionalism, which, in turn, allowed us to bid farewell to our wonderful husband, dad, son-in-law, son, brother, friend with utter dignity, knowing that we gave him the best send off possible. Thank you so very much.

I have used Paul J King for a number of years and always of course in the most upsetting of circumstances. However the kindness and compassion shown by each and every member of staff is faultless. Every time I entrust them with the care of a loved one I know they are in safe hands and will be treated with dignity. From that first phone call to the very end after the funeral has taken place the experience has always been a reassuring and pleasant one; mainly due all of the amazing people involved. So a big thank you from me and my family for being the caring and trusted experts you are.

I used the Hullbridge branch of Paul J King following the death of a wonderful and very loved friend. I cannot express my gratitude at how the team and especially Anne dealt with everything! They were the light in a very dark time and helped make the whole process smooth and beautiful. The day of the funeral was perfect and even the tiny touches like allowing my daughter and I some time with the elegant horses before the procession continued to the crematorium was just so well thought out and meant so much to us! I cannot recommend these guys enough. They really take you in under their wing at such an awful time and allow you to feel supported and show you that it doesn’t have to all be sad and dark. Thank you Paul J King and team! Xx
