Our funeral services reviews
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.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive review
The team at Clark's exceeded all our expectations for Mum's funeral arrangements - they were all so professional in supporting us through a very difficult time & putting in place the arrangements to provide a fitting tribute & sent off for someone so close to our hearts.From the first meeting with Charlie to make preparations for the funeral service through to Ruth the celebrant ( she was fantastic) , Amanda who prepared the order of service , Susan who created the fitting floral tributes & Anthony who put us at ease at the crematorium by clearly outlying how the service would proceed we were shown such great empathy & warmth at all times.My Dad said after the funeral ' he was delighted with how things went & everything was beyond his expectations & we were able to provide a fantastic tribute & farewell ' .I can't thank everyone at Clark's enough for their support & highly recommend them to take care of you during a very difficult time in your lives.
Response from the owner: Thank you Keith. Charlie and I greatly appreciate your kind and positive words about the team at JA Clark & Son and the third parties we work with.
Charlie was an absolute star; he was so helpful when we had to sadly arrange my mother in laws funeral. We were able to deal with everything remotely (as we live over 300 miles away). He supported us in making decisions and made sure we were updated at all times. Just a couple of weeks later and we've just had her ashes delivered to us in Cornwall. Great service
Response from the owner: Hello LynnWhat a wonderful review. Charlie is the youngest member of my family and I am delighted that everything was carried out both professionally and thoughtfully.Susan
This family firm offered us a unique option to give our relative the simple cremation he wanted but with a chance to hold a bespoke small service at the chapel of rest to say farewell. Susan and Charlie were very professional and supportive at every step. This was a very positive experience and has helped a lot with our grief.
Response from the owner: Thank you for such kind words, Charlie and I are pleased that you and your family found comfort during the private gathering held in our Chapel
We have used J.A. Clark & Son several times in our family, and would not use anyone else. Everything is managed with sensitivity and care, and there is no pressure to spend more on particular aspects of the funeral. Charlie was fantastic with my father's funeral recently, and took care of everything for us - he put us in touch with an incredible celebrant, Ruth Arnold, who spent a lot of time with us getting to know my father which made her eulogy really meaningful. Susan did a lovely flower arrangement and Anthony and team were really great on the day making sure all went smoothly. I had worried about certain aspects in advance, such as whether the music would be tested etc. but I needn't have, as everything was well in hand among the excellent team.They certainly made a difficult time easier to deal with, and we would use them again without hesitation.

Response from the owner: Thank you Sally for your lovely review.Susan
An enormous thank you to Charlie and all the members of JA Clark and Son funeral directors for arranging the service here in the UK for our mum who sadly passed away last month. Owing to a tight time frame we couldn't have mass in church so Charlie kindly suggested and arranged for their chapel to be open for a couple of hours early evening where family and friends visited. Our wonderful Priest was also present offering prayers throughout before mum was finally taken back home to Ireland Their chapel of rest was spacious and beautiful and their attention to detail impeccable. Thank you everyone.
Response from the owner: Thank you Lottie, so pleased you were satisfied with mum's arrangements. Having a larger Chapel of Rest makes it easier to accommodate family and friends for a smaller personal service. Susan
Great staff and service throughout. Reliable and guided us through everything. I can't thank them enough for all their help.
Response from the owner: Thank you Roger for your kind words Susan
I attended a funeral service in support of a close friend for the burial of their grandmother/mother on Thursday 9th February.The undertakers were extremely professional, kind and respectful to my friend and their family throughout the process. They were even kind enough to drop me off at the top of the road at the end of the burial. Definitely would recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you Sarah Kind regards Susan
I recently attended a funeral conducted by J A Clark in High Barnet and I was very impressed by their professionalism throughout. They were courteous and polite to the bereaved family and to others who had come to pay their respects. An outstanding service!
Response from the owner: Thank you Richard
A very courteous and compassionate service was provided. They were respectful to both the deceased and the deceased's family. At no point were we hurried and they were professional throughout. I would recommend this company without hesitation.
Response from the owner: Thank you Anna.
My mothers funeral took place last Thursday. The service provided by the undertakers was excellent from start to finish. They showed great respect and kindness both to the deceased and the mourners. Everything went to plan and we were not hurried to leave once the burial had taken place. We were all taken to our Wake afterwards. I would highly recommend these funeral directors.
Response from the owner: Hello ChristineThank you for your appreciative comments. I have fond memories of your mother Suzanne playing the organ in the church, and she always had time for a chat when we bumped in to each other in Barnet. Such a gentle lady.Kindest regards Susan
