EXCELLENT Based on 22 reviews Elaine Saggers06/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my Mum passed away, me and my brother had no idea who to go to for our funeral director. After a Google search and a read of the reviews Alex had been left, we decided to contact him. All I can say is that I'm so glad we did. Right from the start, Alex was nothing but kind, caring, helpful, respectful and informative. Meeting us at home, he went through all the options available to us, never pushing anything on us just merely giving us options to choose from. His care and respect for our Mum was also second to none. He said he would look after her as if she were his own family, and I can say with honesty that he really did. I was the one arranging everything for the funeral, and I cannot fault Alex's support through the process. If ever I had a question, he was there with the answer - usually within a few minutes, and never more than a few hours later! When Alex tells you that he is there for you whenever you need him, he really means it. We also asked Alex to act as celebrant at the funeral service, which he also delivered with kindness, caring and respect, even taking the time to welcome those who were joining via webcast which I thought was lovely too, so they felt part of the service despite not being physically in the room. In short - if you are looking for someone who TRULY cares about what they do, performing their role with respect (for both the family and the deceased), then go to Alex. I can quite confidently say that you will NOT be disappointed with his services. Leigh Roberts03/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I would give Alex 10 stars. He always came to my home. I never needed to go to the offices. He liaised well with all involved including my daughter in Australia. The service was delivered smoothly, compassionately and was comforting including reading the family messages. The webcast worked very well and was a real blessing. Thank you, Tina. Sonia Carneiro27/10/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alex provided wonderful support during such a difficult time. We are so grateful for his kindness, compassion, and honest approach. Alex is very attentive to detail, answered all our questions clearly, and communicated with us in a very considerate, sensitive manner that was very respectful. He took great care of my mother in law, and considered the wishes and feelings of our entire family, while lending us all the flexibility and space to process our grief. Everyone we interacted with, that supported us on the day of the service was just as kind and friendly, including the limo drivers. The service Alex provided has been invaluable and the process and delivery couldn't have been smoother. We spoke with no less than 5 funeral directors before being pointed in the direction of Alex's services and when we did contact him and meet with him, there was no question that his firm would be our directors of choice. I have no hesitation in recommending Alex to any family looking for a compassionate and supportive and very human approach, during the most difficult time. caroline thompson25/10/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can’t recommend Alex Kerr and Kerr family funerals enough . A friend of a friend recommended them and I knew as soon as I met Alex that I would use them, Alex came to my house and went through everything I needed to know. He was calm and patient and worked with kindness and empathy , he arranged everything including ordering the order of service booklets , I paid him to stand up and read the eulogy and I was very impressed with the way he delivered the words I had written. Will not hesitate to use him should the need arise again in the future Corinne Cope15/09/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alex was absolutely amazing from first contact, and all the way through the funeral. He made a really difficult time a lot easier. He is kind and compassionate, understanding what is required. I viewed my mum in the coffin and Alex had prepared her so lovingly that it was not as difficult as I expected. Kerr family funerals are also contactable at any time of day or night. 100% recommended. Kayleigh Doherty16/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alex was amazing with my Grandad. He does everything himself and is very accommodating. He goes above and beyond to help make things as easy as possible. Me and my Nan appreciate everything he did. Highly recommend Kerr Family Funerals Jean Irving14/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have lived in Hemel all my life and obviously had dealings with other funeral directors,but Alex Kerr is by far the absolute best he is so patient understanding,kind ,so compassionate,no matter what you ask of him he will deliver . There is not a word to describe Alex he is totally dedicated to his job and to the family involved Morgane11/07/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There’s not enough words for everything Alex has done for me and my family for my brother who I sadly lost 2 years ago , Alex made planning heartbreaking arrangements so much easier and made sure Lewis had the most perfect send off. Last minute we decided we wanted to bring Lewis home the night before his funeral and with a drop of hat Alex made it all happen , ontop of this all he’s the most loviest human being with so much compassion and empathy 5 stars is not enough stars to give Alex. There’s not enough ways to say thank you for the respect you’ve given me my family and my brother
