What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Families arranging a funeral for a grandparent or a parent describe an experience marked by patience and genuine kindness from the first conversation to the day of the service. Kaylene is named repeatedly for the care she showed while taking arrangement details and for guiding relatives through the difficult task of identification. Reviewers also recall that she and her staff stayed attentive throughout, and that the chapel had been prepared with obvious thought. Danette, the celebrant, is thanked for conducting a service that felt fitting, while Sandy is acknowledged as part of the team.

Something that features in review after review is the professionalism and compassion of everyone encountered, with one family noting this was their first time organising a funeral and finding nothing to fault. Another expresses gratitude for staff who made a difficult occasion more bearable than expected. The work spans funeral direction and celebrant services, and what stands out is the steady, considerate manner of those named, from the initial meeting through to the farewell.

We farewelled my gorgeous 101 year old grandfather yesterday. Kaylene was fantastic through the whole experience. She met with my mum and I to make the arrangements and she was so kind and patient. On the day Kaylene and her staff were so caring. The chapel was set up beautifully with such care and she assisted me through the tough job of the identification. The service was lovely and Danette the celebrant did a great job. What was a sad time for the family became a celebration of his life and a chance to make family connections when coming together and I walked away feeling so happy with the day and at peace. Thank you Kaylene. You have a true calling. Thank you Alfred James for you amazing staff, and their care, respect and compassion.

This was the first funeral I have helped organise and I could not fault the service from Alfred James. Professional, caring, compassionate, and accommodating. All the staff i had contact with were outstanding and I would not hesitate to use them again.
