You don't have to make an appointment at our funeral homes. However, doing so will ensure that someone can be available to cater to your needs. When arranging a funeral, our Funeral Directors are happy to visit you in your own home, if required.

Third party funeral costs are additional charges which we will manage for you and attach to your single invoice. Get in touch with us to confirm costs and plan a funeral to fit your budget.

If you choose to arrange the funeral with us, you will be given the option of a complimentary Funeral Notice. We will set it up for you using the details discussed during the arrangements. All we need is an email address.

Dignity Funeral Plans let you pay for your funeral in advance and at today's price. It's a way of taking control of the unexpected, setting out the arrangements and limiting the costs by paying for the services included in the funeral plan upfront.

Thanks to all the staff at Kirkwood's Kings Road Belfast. Our experience from start to day of funeral was caring professional and every request was fulfilled with such a caring attitude. Funerals are not an easy time but with their care and attention and support we got through it. Also after care was there for us which we really appreciated.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Kirkwoods, Kings Road . I lost both my parents within 6 months of each other and both their service's were at King's Road, we are so great to all the staff involved in arranging mum & dad's funerals, they were so professional, very caring and compassionate.

We would like to thank Pauline, Amanda and Johnny/jonathan, sorry if we've forgotten anyone, we appreciated each and every one of you.

We spoke with Angela on the phone and had a horrendous experience. She was not sympathetic to my mum who had just lost her husband instead was very short and irritated with her and was adamant to make her point without considering how she came across. Even when I calmly explained that her tone was not very kind she did not offer any apology but continued in the same manner. We wanted nothing more to do with kirkwoods after this call and cancelled and went with a different funeral directors who were much more considerate
