Charlie & Susan were professional and caring in challenging circumstances. They talked us through every aspect of the process and were extremely helpful, we didn't feel rushed to make decisions we weren't ready to make and we were kept well informed; the service for my late dad was perfect. Thank you.
My brother passed away and this funeral director handled everything really well, they were professional, and helpful at a difficult time. I would highly recommend
Have always used J A Clark for all my family funerals. Have also recommended them to friends. Nothing is too much trouble and they even arranged to supply the flowers. A lovely, wonderful family business.
We have used J A Clark & Son for the funerals of both our late father and more recently our late mother. The service we received from them was absolutely exemplary from start to finish. Charlie very gently guided us through the various options and we were able to personalise everything so that we achieved the send off we wanted. Charlie organised all aspects as needed and kept us fully up to date. Both my brother and I would highly recommend J A Clark & Son to anyone needing to arrange a funeral. Huge thanks to them for all they did on our behalf.
All aspects of my mother’s funeral arrangements were meticulously dealt with, with empathy and compassion. From her physical collection at the care home, for which I was present, to everything else to do with what is a difficult thing to organise when in such deep grief. Emails were responded
to promptly, explanations I required to do with various steps were clear and easy to understand. On the day of the funeral all members of staff were attentive and it went as well as it possibly could have done. Donations were collected by staff and sent to the charity we supported. The floral arrangements were beautiful too. I would highly recommend this company and also James Field who took the service for us. Many, many thanks 🙏
Response from the owner:Thank you Julie for your review, it is much appreciated by the team at JAClark & Son
All aspects of my mother’s funeral arrangements were made with the ultimate professionalism and care by JA Clark and Son. It’s at these difficult times you need to be in the hands of experienced , respectful undertakers. Recommending a funeral director to someone is not something you do without a lot of consideration ., Death is a very emotional experience but I have recommended JA Clark and Sons to numerous friends because I can be assured that their loved one will be treated with dignity and the families wishes will be respected.
Response from the owner:Thank you Nick for your review. We all appreciate your kind words
I would just like to let Susan and Charlie
know that, the way they cared for our newborn son whilst in their care and our family while arranging his funeral was beautiful , they were so respectful of our wishes and we went to see our son in their chapel of rest he was dressed as we’d asked and they had taken so much care in ensuring he looked his best, Susan also did Theo’s name in flowers and ensured that the horse drawn carriage for our beautiful son was arranged beautifully, would highly recommend and like to say thank you on behalf of myself and my family for ensuring Theo’s final journey was as perfect as he was.
Response from the owner:Hello Steph Our heartfelt warmth goes out to you and your family. You were so brave and courageous in dealing with the passing of baby Theo. Thank you for sharing your appreciation of our services. Susan and Charlie
From the moment I met Charlie and Susan, in the most difficult of circumstances, they explained their range of services with total accuracy. Once we decided on our personal arrangements every element was handled with the utmost care and attention. The final step was the implementation, and we were humbled by the professionalism and sensitivity of their team on such an important day.
J.A. Clark are such a wonderful partner to employ when you need a reassuring service.

J.A. Clark & Son handled every aspect of the arrangements for my late mother’s funeral impeccably. Charlie and Susan were so caring, attentive, reliable and professional in everything they did, down to the smallest detail. Everything was done exactly as mum wanted. I felt that she was in safe hands with them and cannot thank them enough or recommend them more highly.
I would like to express my appreciation for the dignified and courteous manner in which JA Clark and Son organised and carried out the funeral arrangements of my father and more recently my beloved aunt whose service was held in Bedford last month. Their service and attention to detail was first class and I would highly recommend them. Thank you for making such a tough time a little easier.
