What families say

"When I visited Bob in the chapel of rest, which they done out of office hours, my daughter and I were pleased with how good Bob looked. On the day of the service Nick and Chrissy looked after us from start to finish."

— Jeff Newport (about Nick)

"Karen was absolutely fantastic. She took the time to explain things to us and was so patient and kind. Everything was organised wonderfully for the day and the staff that helped us on the day were also absolutely brilliant. Thank you for helping us to give our father a wonderful send off."

— The Smarts (about Karen)

— Sam Noronha (about Sacha)

"Karen, Donna and team guided us with empathy and expertise, ensuring that every detail was taken care of with the utmost care and respect. Their support during this challenging time was invaluable, and we are grateful for their dedication to making the farewell for our loved one as dignified and seamless as possible."

— Wendy Logan (about Karen)

"At such a distressing time they provided an effortless, efficient and professional service. A big thank you to Rose for her compassion, advice and kindness throughout the whole process, and for making a very difficult time a little easier."

— Wayne Masters (about Rose)

"My parents both died within twenty four hours of each other and the family had decided we would like to arrange a double funeral. Karen took the issue into her own hands and, through their Head Office, was able to take control of both. She was outstanding, sensitive, compassionate, supportive and just there for us throughout. She kept us informed on an almost daily basis and gave us gentle reminders when we were approaching a deadline."

So glad we acted upon the recommendation to use Doves to organise our Mums funeral. At such a distressing time they provided an effortless, efficient and professional service. A big thank you to Rose for her compassion, advice and kindness throughout the whole process, and for making a very difficult time a little easier. Also, thank you to Toni and her Team for providing an outstanding service on the day of the funeral.
