A helping hand at a difficult time...

5
I was introduced to William Kent Memorials by Rachel Phillips of Ruskington.
When a loved one passes away, there is so much to do & it was great to receive a helping hand through the process. Melanie was great. She was not pushy & they really did exceed out expectations on timeframe & we as a family are very grateful for their professionalism.
Thank you.

Memorial cleaning and new memorials

5
I commissioned the cleaning of an old memorial and two new ones on the family grave in Boston cemetery and Kent's mad a fantastic job of the commission. The cost were reasonable and they kept me informed of progress and completion. Hoping not to need their services myself for sometime but would recommend if circumstances dictate.

Excellence and Compassion

5
We are delighted with the memorial created for our parents, and the restoration of our grandparents gravestone. The quality of the work is excellent and we were kept informed of progress throughout the process. During the planning stages the staff at Kent's were very patient, professional, and compassionate, and dealt with all the paperwork making this a stress free experience for our family.
We have no hesitation in recommending William Kent Memorials Ltd.
