JH Kenyon's Oldest Funeral Parlour Blessed and Dedicated for Renewed Service
One of London's oldest surviving funeral parlours, the premises of Dignity-owned JH Kenyon, Malvern Road, Kilburn has recently been fully restored and refurbished.
This major investment by the company was celebrated at a Service of Blessing and Dedication held in September. Staff joined Area Manager, Clark Kerr and Manager, Philip Smyth for a special service conducted by local vicar The Reverend Colin Amos from St Augustine's Church.
Father Colin thanked the firm for the many years of dedicated service to the people of the area, and commented on "this really beautiful place where the bereaved can come to find solace and comfort."
Philip spoke of how the founder of the firm, James Harold Kenyon attended the opening of this, his first satellite office, in 1888, and how Fr Colin's predecessor, the first vicar of the parish, more than likely officiated.
Philip Smyth, Business Manager
"It makes me very proud to think that we are still here and still serving all who come to us in their time of need. I really believe James H. Kenyon would be very proud of this fact too."
