What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Funeral direction across the Gold Coast is handled with a level of care that reviewers return to again and again, particularly when arrangements are needed at short notice. Steve, the funeral director named in most accounts, is described as compassionate yet professional, arriving quickly after a death and guiding families through paperwork, funeral planning and cremation without adding stress.

Several customers note that he came to their home to take a loved one into care with dignity, and that the same respect carried through to the service itself. The flexibility to hold a funeral in a family garden, complete with a celebrant, priest and Scottish piper, is mentioned as a highlight. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the follow-up contact in the weeks afterwards, including the hand delivery of ashes and death certificates.

Reviewers repeatedly mention that costs were reasonable and free of the excesses sometimes associated with funeral providers, and that the process felt manageable despite the emotional circumstances. Attention to detail, clear explanations and reassurance during sudden losses are recurring themes, along with the kindness shown to interstate family members. The service is Australian owned, and the theme running through the feedback is a dignified, stress-free farewell arranged around each family's wishes.

Steve showed compassion, kindness and caring during the recent passing of my dear mum. He was prompt and provided continual updates during the process. I would highly recommend Steve in any dealings in handling your loved one. Thank you All Funerals (Steve) for making the grieving process that little bit lighter.

Steve was amazing when I called after my brother passed. Very compassionate but professional. He made everything so easy for us and even delivered my brothers ashes to us. We would recommend Steve to anyone in need of a stress free service at a time when emotions are high. We appreciated everything he did for us.

My father unexpectedly passed away recently and my sisters and I were extremely emotional however we wanted to honour our dad’s wishes with a celebration of life. We phoned Steve and requested a cremation followed by a celebration of life on the water. Steve reassured us with great empathy that he could provide this service. Steve was efficient and provided amazing support throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Steve.

Absolute gentleman and a pleasure to deal with. Steve and the team's caring nature and professionalism shine through. Their experience and compassion are clearly evident and I hearily recommend them to others, safe in the knowledge you'll receive top quality care without the over the top costs of some. Thanks Steve.
