Kirsty & the team was amazing, went above and beyond. They made special arrangements for us as a family which we truly appreciate. They cared for mum perfectly and helped us give mum a beautiful send off. I had been to 2 previous funeral homes before visiting here and they stood out by far. The compassion and care they put into everything is outstanding and at such a high quality. Highly recommend especially for families, Thank you for everything.

I really couldn’t thank Ray, Marissa, Dave and the team enough for how much they helped my family, nor could I recommend their services enough. They were incredibly professional yet understanding, and made this difficult experience so much more bearable for us throughout. We were repeatedly reassured not to worry, and to allow them to take some of our stress away around the planning of the day.They were able to accommodate all of our wishes and paid so much attention to detail. My grandad’s favourite colour was red and the coffin bearers even offered to wear red ties/details to reflect that, just small details that really meant a lot to us. Thank you so much again.
