— Patricia XOXO (about Toni)

Blackheath Funeral Services arranged my dad’s funeral and celebration of his life. Bianca was lovely and extremely respectful and helpful with settting up the arrangements, as well as Matthew and hisbteam made everything run smoothly on the day.

My brother and I chose Blackheath Funeral Service as the best option in the Blackheath area for our mother's funeral. We were most impressed by how easy the whole process was. The lady that helped us, Toni, was lovely, and we were also helped by Jackie who was very understanding and proactive. The whole day went very well - as well as a funeral could go - and we received many compliments from friends and relatives about how well organised everything was. Thanks also to the funeral director on the day, Matt, who led the cortege and procession into the crematorium. Definitely, we would recomment Blackheath FS as providers of a well polished funeral service. Thankyou to everyone involved.

On behalf of the whole family we would like to thank you for the compassionate and professional way you looked after us following the death of our dad. We would especially like to thank Toni who made all the arrangements with great care and sensitivity, and Kelly who looked after us on the day of the funeral with great kindness and who found a wonderful way to include a family member with a learning disability in the service that meant so much to us all. The funeral was a beautiful tribute to our dad and we would recommend your services to anyone.

Losing my husband was devastating and still is. However, Blackheath Funeral Services have been with me every step of the way from the moment they collected my late husband’s body right up to the end when he was cremated. I can only say that the service I and my family have received from Toni was one of compassion, kindness, sensitivity and understanding. I would recommend BFS for the services they provide.
