Andrew Kennedy has built its reputation on showing respect to everyone, displaying strong family values and nurturing relationships centred on trust.
When it comes to pricing, we strongly believe in honesty and transparency, so you are fully aware of your options and can make the right decisions for yourself and your family.
But our promise extends beyond one of honest pricing – we are also bound by our Charter that extends beyond regulations and industry codes to ensure the families we support are fully satisfied.
To honour the life of your loved one, we work closely with you to design a truly unique experience that is representative of their personality
and the life they lived.
