Hi and welcome to Simple Kent Funerals. We are flexible, caring, creative and positive - helping you celebrate your loved one's life in a way that feels right for you - simple, flamboyant, eco, humanist, traditional, contemporary or alternative. We are celebrants too, which means we can lead ceremonies - and help plan celebrations of life too. We know how much you choose to spend has nothing to do with how much you love. We are transparent in the way we charge and don't make any profit from 3rd party fees for things like coffins, ashes urns, venue costs etc… so you pay what we’ve paid for these things and no more. We publish all our prices on our website and provide a printed price-list too. We always give a written estimate, confirming arrangements, timings and costs. We are a carbon neutral business, working in sustainable and eco-friendly ways. We source environmentally-friendly coffins and urns made of natural and biodegradable materials, use local flower farms whose flowers are chemical free - and have our own solar power system to run our office and electric vehicle. We can visit you either at your home or at Applefield Cottage – or arrange everything by phone, email and post if you prefer. We can help choose a special venue for a service or ceremony, as well as using traditional venues. Please visit www.simplekentfunerals.co.uk/venueideas for more info. We believe that celebrating a life in simple, thoughtful ways has great meaning We have over 75 Google 5-star reviews - and visit our feedback page at www.simplekentfunerals.co.uk/reviews
Helping families through a difficult time in their lives by supporting them in a caring and loving way.
A very close friend died and I helped his wife organise the funeral. The funeral directors we contacted were all very nice but had an old-fashioned formality about them which wasn't what our friend's family wanted. I was working at that time for a Community Interest Company social enterprise, working with people who have long-term health conditions, so I already had personal experience of supporting people at the end of their lives. I decided to set up my own, more up-to-date funeral service following research which showed me that almost all funeral directors in my area were traditional in their approach and offered only limited opportunities to people to do things more flexibly and simply.
I think that's best answered by the feedback and recommendations we've received - these are the most recent 5 we have been given:
From the very first phone call Toby was professional, patient, attentive and sympathetic to our needs, guiding us through the entire process resulting in the most memorable day and perfect send off for our father. Thank you Toby.
Excellent service. Highly recommended. We were so glad we found Toby. He guided us through all of the arrangements for my wife's mother's funeral with kindness and sensitivity with a personal touch which gave us a sense of calm during a difficult time which was important to us. Toby took on everything that needed arranging and co-ordinating which took a lot of stress off of our shoulders. He kept us updated regularly so that we always felt we were in safe capable hands. Nothing was too much trouble, despite all of our questions, we always felt that he was always making dedicated time for us from the moment he took mum into his care. He guided us through each step so that we always knew what to expect. He listened carefully to our needs in line with mum's wishes for a natural burial and worked efficiently to ensure that we had a service in line with those wishes and expectations. We never felt concerned or worried. From the first time of contact when made initial enquiries to the day that we met up with him, we were assured by his professionalism and experience that he could deliver the type of ceremony we wanted. He also recommended a wonderful florist who arranged a beautiful unique sheaf and garland. On the day, Toby was our celebrant and oversaw the service compassionately. He set the tone and gently guided and supported us but at the same time allowed us the space and time to celebrate and grieve for our mum. He delivered a beautiful committal reading which was so appropriate for mum's funeral in a lovely setting, which we found very touching, relevant and powerful. Because of Toby and his team and his meticulous arrangements, everything went smoothly on the day which meant that our last moments with mum resulted in a beautiful personal and peaceful ceremony.
We would highly recommend Toby. He is very approachable and understanding. We also thought that his fees were very reasonable and competitive for the individual service he delivered to us.
Planning a funeral is never easy, but when we had to plan my mother's, Toby made the whole thing simple and straightforward. He was completely flexible and sensitive to our needs; guided us where we needed it and was generally a joy to work with. After all was said and done, we had people come up to us and congratulate us on one of the best funerals that they'd ever been to. I cannot recommend Simple Kent Funerals highly enough - and excellent value for money too!
Our family is so glad we chose Simple Kent funerals for the arrangements for my husband, (a beloved father and grandfather). Knowing nothing beforehand, we found SKF’s website via Google and liked the ethos of this local company. We were so lucky to make the perfect choice.
Toby couldn’t have been more understanding, warm and sensitive to our wishes from the initial visit to my house, while making arrangements, to delivering the beautiful woven basket after cremation. Everything was as simple as my husband had wanted and we felt in safe hands throughout, which certainly helped us all through a very difficult time.
A very personal and genuinely caring service which we wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you for everything you did, Toby - we are very grateful.
Toby's attention to detail was amazing, nothing was too much for him. He truly was a breath of fresh air being very informal yet 100% caring and compassionate for us as a family. Thank you Toby, yes mum would certainly have given you the 5 stars too!
