  Clare was incredibly helpful and supportive to our family through the entire process. She was very patient and showed a lot of compassion. She kept us up to date throughout and was especially helpful in guiding us through the process with the hospital. Very thankful for all of your help, I would highly recommend James Harper to anyone in need of their services.

  Thank you very much to all at James Harper for arranging my stepmother’s funeral so beautifully yesterday. Clare guided us through the planning and organisation so efficiently and sensitively. And Rees and team ensured the day went seamlessly too. The design and printing of the service booklet was also excellent. We were all very happy with the wicker casket with yellow details along with beautiful flowers by Passionflower in Blackheath. .

  Very polite, helpful and supportive. Assisted us in understanding the process and the services available that would meet our needs, and made clear the options without any pressure to select one over another. Excellent management of the details to ensure there were no issues on the day. I cannot thank Ian and the James Harper team enough.

  My family used James Harper for a funeral recently, and we were totally impressed. They handled the arrangements with care, and helped bring calm to a really distressing time for us. The staff were attentive and polite, and helped guide us through the various choices that we had, so we found the right things for everything. At such an overwhelming time, it was so lovely to have the right people in place. If you are looking for an independent funeral company, who looks after your loved one with dignity, and the family with sensitivity, James Harper will be your best option

  James Harper were such a lifeline to our family last year when caring for my partner and his family. Losing both his mother and his father, just 9 days apart, was an incredibly difficult event to come to terms with. Not only did he have the emotional turmoil of it all, but he also had to arrange two funerals in such quick succession. Sadly their funerals were just two weeks apart, at the same venue. James Harper funerals could not have been more supportive or efficient, at a time of such overwhelming grief and upheaval. All of the staff that we met were compassionate, considerate and so caring of everyone’s needs- recognising that the family were dealing with so much, in such a short period of time. We have driven past the shop in Bromley for years and years and hoped to never need to use the services of a funeral director. But now, after being so well cared for by them, I will forever be grateful for what they did for our family and highly recommend them to anyone else who loses their loved ones. I know what good hands my mother and father in law were in, in their care. I can hand on heart say that they made a really traumatic event, a positive experience in the celebration of life on the days of their funerals. And realistically, that is what it’s all about – having a memorable “send-off” which of course helps to ease us into the grieving process, which is very much still ongoing at this time.
