Testimonials

I would like to thank Corine, Kate and other members of staff at Paul J King for all their support in helping me, my brother and other family members through this hard period, especially me. On the 11/01/2025 our Mother Bernadette Elizabeth Tsokallis passed away, my Mother and I lived literally next door to the Braintree branch, as a result me and mum new one of the members of staff on a hello how you doing way. When mum passed on Saturday I went next door called the number shown. The phone answered and a man spoke kindly and calmly, I explained what had happened and was told they will send someone around, I asked if Corine could come as me and mum were familiar with her and it felt a bit more personal to me. The gentleman said Corine is off today, that's ok I said, he then replied let me see what i can do. A short while after he called back and said Corine would come in and help today. I felt so grateful. Then Corine and her team turned up, all was very polite and considerate of us. They done what they had to do that day and was very supportive. After a few days me and my brother went to the office to get things going, this time we met Kate, who was also very kind and spoke calmly. Kate went through the plans with us and was very helpful advising us on bits we didn't know. I actually a couple of times phoned and spoke with Corine and Kate for advice and they both helped tremendously. I went to visit mum at the Chelmsford branch, Corine was there with another colleague who was very nice. Corine supported me with encouraging words as i got emotional and helped me be strong to see mum. On the day of mums funeral Corine and her team done an excellent job which me and my family are grateful for. Through this time the whole team were kind and supportive, especially Corine and Kate. Corine and Kate were aware of my health condition including my brain injury and i could tell they were being patient and supportive and given me advice when i didn't understand certain things. So Corine, Kate and team thank you.

We used Paul King as i have been to relatives funerals before done by them. Lesley in the SWF office is a wonderful lady. Kind and caring and listens to your requests. The celebrant that Lesley recommended was amazing on the day. Our friends thought he was a family friend as he described Ken and the family as if he knew them personally. The went smoothly from start to finish and they really could not of given Ken a better sending off. Thank you to lesley and to all the staff at Paul King Funeral Directors and to the amazing celebrant. You did Ken and the family proud.

I would just like to thank all at Paul J King funeral services for the excellent and caring attention we have received after losing my beloved Dad. We had the funeral service yesterday and although it was heartbreaking it was such a beautiful send off and very fitting for my Dad. Unfortunately we have had to use Paul J King in 2017 when we lost my brother tragically to cancer. On both occasions for my brother Chris and for my Dad, Paul J King made both losses easier to deal with. In particular Lesley, she cared for them both whilst they were with Paul J King and it gave us great comfort knowing she was there to keep an eye on them. Her compassion and skills are rare to find these days and she is a credit to Paul J King. Thank you all again.
