After mum passed recently (Dec 2025) we contacted J A Kelly to help take care of the funeral arrangements. I have to say it was the best decision we could have made. The care and support we received from Jack and Martin was first class. Nothing was too much trouble and they were there for any questions or concerns that arose during what was an extremely difficult time for the family. The attention to detail for every aspect of the funeral arrangements was made so much easier by the guidance they gave us and we genuinely wouldn't have known where to start without them. A day that the whole family was dreading was made so much easier by the sensitive and caring way that J A Kelly handled everything. I know that I speak for the entire family when I say that we can't thank them enough for everything.

Having recently lost our beloved Mum, just before Christmas, things were chaotic to say the least.J A Kelly came highly recommended from a family member and we cannot thank them enough for not only guiding us through a very tough time, but the care, attention and patience they showed us all just made the whole process so much easier for us all.Incredibly professional, but also a wonderful human touch with them all.It's a family business and every one of them are a credit to their profession.My father has already said if anything were to happen to him, he would like to use Jack and Martin [hopefully not just yet though?]and I myself feel exactly the same.An excellent company who I cannot praise highly enough.We all wish them the very best of luck for the futureWayne Connolly

Where do I begin, when we met Jack at a very sad time we couldn't have asked for a more caring and trustworthy person? Nothing was too much trouble and he was available 24 x 7. Jack is a very special person and we couldn't imagine anyone else taking care of our Mum? We whole heartedly recommend J.A.Kelly a small family business. God bless you. Wendy Sargent and family.

When my mum passed away at 97 years old it was expected, but still heartbreaking. We phoned Jack, and he organised the removal of the body very respectfully, and in a very short time, but also giving us the time we needed. From that point on Jack organised everything and we could get on with our grieving without the stress of trying to organise the funeral. Jack and his staff were on hand throughout the process, to discuss any questions we had.On the day of the funeral his staff were very professional and showed an abundance of empathy. Jack himself did most of the ceremony and it was a perfect send off for a highly respected head of the family.As a family, we are so grateful to J A Kelly Independent Funeral Directors and we highly recommend Jack’s company to help you through your bereavement.Rest in Peace Veronica.

After speaking to two large funeral directors I decided a family run funeral service was what we needed. Jack helped me every step of the way at the hardest time, arranging the full services from food and church to even keepsake jewellery. Making very hard decisions easy. When things got too much offering kind words and a tissue.

From the very first conversation to the final service, I cannot express how grateful I am to Jack in taking care of everything. It was difficult trusting a complete stranger to take care of our loved one when they passed, but with Jack's professionalism, empathy, and guidance, I was confident we made the right decision in entrusting Jack and his team. The whole process was made as simple as possible and nothing was too much trouble. Myself and my family cannot thank the team enough.

Jack and his team were genuinely incredible during this time. Jack made the planning process seem easy and seamless and no question or request was too much. Jack had a beautiful balance between professionalism and genuine care and empathy towards me and my family. Jack is meticulous in his planning and tailored every inch of the day to fit what my grandma would of wanted. We originally choose jack because of his warmth and kind nature with him being someone my grandma would of really liked, the fact that he provided us with a faultless service that truly captured the essence of my grandma was the best bonus. Thanks again Jack,
100/10 would recommend!
