I couldn’t rate Ashley’s services more highly. The dignity and respect he showed to me and my angel baby boy went above and beyond. I will forever be grateful. Thank you Ashley!

Ashley, Cameron, and Kerry provided exceptional support to our family after the loss of my Dad. Ashley went above and beyond, visiting our home, always making himself available when we needed guidance, and adapting seamlessly as our plans changed three times before Dad's farewell gathering. Kerry was a fabulous celebrant who delivered a beautiful and heartfelt service. Many of the guests who attended commented on how lovely and meaningful the ceremony was. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Ashley and his team made the planning process much easier with their compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. I highly recommend them to anyone needing support in planning a farewell for a loved one. Thank you so much for everything. Wendy, Greg and Lee

Ashley and his team at Academy Funerals provided exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism during one of the most difficult periods for our family. They assisted us with the passing of both of our parents within just nine months of each other, and throughout both services, they treated us with genuine respect, understanding, and kindness.Ashley took the time to guide us through every step of the process, making what could have been an overwhelming experience much easier to manage. His attention to detail, clear communication, and sincere care for our family gave us great comfort during our time of grief.We are truly grateful for the dignity and respect shown to our parents and our family. We highly recommend Ashley and the entire Academy Funerals team to anyone seeking compassionate and professional funeral services.

Ashley and his team have been used for multiple funerals by our family now, always professional, kind, compassionate and understanding of our family's situation and requirements for saying a final farewell to our loved ones. A true industry professional and genuine caring gentleman.

Couldn’t have been blessed with better people to help send my angel off on her new journey. Both Ashley and his angel of a wife have made this experience somewhat easier in such a horrific time. Spoke with Ashley when I got there and got introduced to Cameron another amazing staff member for this company. The both of them had me laughing and made the situation so much less overwhelming. Lost is a very hard thing to go through and picking where your loved one ends up and who sends them into their next destination is everything and I couldn’t have made any better choice by picking Academy funerals. Truly the nicest, most genuine and supportive people I’ve ever met. You can tell these people truly care about what they do and helping make sure everyone dead or alive are looked after with nothing but the upmost respect and empathy

I cant thank Ashley and his team enough. They made me feel at ease from the start and made all the hard decisions so much easier. I cant recommend them enough if I could give more stars I would. The service they helped me create was beautiful and all the guest commented how beautiful it was and the perfect send off for my beloved husband ❤️ thankyou

Ashley was a great help to myself and the family during the recent passing of my sister. He was caring and sensitive and very accommodating. He helped us keep funeral costs low with recommendations and examples. My only negative was the flowers that I ordered. My sister's favourite colour was yellow, and I ordered a bouquet that was all yellow and white. When the day came however, we had a bouquet of multiple colours. I didn't say anything because they were absolutely beautiful, and it was too late to change them. There was no point in complaint. I would highly recommend Ashley if you are wanting a reasonably priced funeral with efficient, respectful and compassionate care takers.
