We cannot recommend Chris White Funeral Directors highly enough. I rang them after losing our brother and Rachel answered the phone and there was no doubt then after talking to her that we were going to use them. She is so professional, compassionate and understanding and guided us with great care and helped give our brother the best send off. At what has been such a painfully sad time Rachel and Sara have been there for us throughout and nothing has been too much trouble for either of them. From myself, Shane and all the family, thank you so much.

Damien, Helen and Staff provided an excellent job of Mums funeral. Nothing was too much trouble,we felt we could pop into the office at anytime to discuss details. The kindness and support given to us made a real difference and we would not hesitate to recommend Chris White as a first choice funeral director.

The loss of our father has been an extremely difficult time. Chris White Funeral Directors not only provided a professional and respectful service they were also extremely kind and supportive. They took us gently through each step and where always there for us. I simply can not thank them enough.

A superb service for my sister Sarah. Under difficult current circumstances the team at Chris White provided a tasteful and sensitive service showing real signs of care and attention to detail. At a very raw time we are very grateful for this and thank the whole team and hope that they continue their high levels of service. We would highly recommend Chris White and intend to purchase two prepaid plans so that we have the peace of mind that the future is taken care of.
