Where do I start, this was going to be a difficult day in more ways than one. From the initial booking of Dad’s funeral plan in 2017 to the actual day of dad’s funeral there was nothing but the utmost professionalism received. Lesley you will be a dear friend for life thank you for looking after Dad with so much care and respect. Paul, I can’t thank you enough, I don’t need to say anymore, but you dealt with a very awkward situation in the most calm and efficient way and just saying thank you does not seem to be enough. You and all your team go above and beyond. I knew by experience of attending local funerals that you have been a part of and have organised and also by word of mouth that you and your Team were just amazing and now I know that for myself. Bob and I will be forever grateful our sincere thanks. Marie and Bob Morrison

I was heartbroken to have had my loving husband and best friend taken away from me so quickly! But from the first phone call to the last, i was treated with the utmost respect, dignity and made to feel relaxed and gave me the strength to get through this very dark time. Lesley was an absolutely diamond always going above and beyond helping me through every step of the way. Also a big thank you to Paul himself who should be more than proud of the wonderful staff that he has supporting him, from the pallbearers, drivers, Lesley and Martin. I would also like to say a Very Big Thank You to Nigel Catchpole who did an excellent job on the service. Thank you all so very very much and will be definitely recommending your services.

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.
