Contact Us“The surname Kenyon has been associated with funerals since the late nineteenth century. After working in partnership with a Brighton-based undertaker, James Harold Kenyon came to London to establish a business supplying funeral firms with horse drawn hearses and carriages. He then embarked upon arranging and directing funerals in the central area of London. With his sons taking an active role in local affairs, the business developed significantly so that by the 1930s JH Kenyon's reputation was such that the firm was responsible for managing many complex and high profile funerals. A small network of branches was opened and the business expanded to become one of the capital's most important firms of funeral directors.
Today that heritage of care and professionalism has been maintained by Peter and Jack Kenyon together with the staff at Arnold Funeral Service.”
