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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Kayleigh Doherty16/08/2024Alex was amazing with my Grandad.

There is not a word to describe Alex he is totally dedicated to his job and to the family involvedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Morgane11/07/2024There’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 brotherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ian Chamberlain21/05/2024Alex was brilliant, both as the funeral director and as the celebrant. A real caring personal service, so much better than others we have experienced.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jade Shortland16/04/2024I can not put into words how amazing Alex is. we sadly lost our baby girl at 15 days old, he really made an awful time 100 times easier. The funeral service ran so smoothly and although was a dreadful day, was also an absolutely perfect day all thanks to Alex ! I can not recommend him enough, a family-run business with no time restraints or office hours to comply with to ask any questions I had which was perfect and made it that more personal. He put so much effort in to ensure she did not look lonely and was surrounded by flowers teddies and love. Thank you AlexTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Dee McVeigh20/03/2024I could not recommend Alex and his team at Kerr Family funerals highly enough. We lost our dad unexpectedly, which was very difficult to come to terms with, but from the moment I first spoke to Alex I felt supported and his care with Dad was next to none. Alex was a rock to the whole family, going over and above to help us navigate our way through the most emotional of times. All of my dads wishes came to fruition and he had the most beautiful send off including horse drawn carriage. Thank you again for all you did for us.
