What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Compassion and professionalism run through the accounts left about this Wagga Wagga funeral director. Aiden, Scott, Jocelyn and Peter are named repeatedly, and reviewers describe them as caring, respectful and consistently available, with families noting that nothing was ever too much trouble. Several mention that arrangements were handled from the first home visit through to the day of the service, and that communication stayed clear and reassuring while decisions were being made.

The funeral itself is often described as running smoothly and without stress, with the team guiding relatives through a sad period and treating the deceased with dignity. A celebrant, Beverly Shaw, is thanked for helping lead a service, and the memorial book produced for one family is remembered as a treasured keepsake. Casket and cremation services are part of the offering, and the kindness shown to extended family comes up as often as the practical support. Satisfaction is expressed across many years of dealings with the same staff, and the words used most are caring, professional and easy to deal with.

What an exceptional group of professionals. Aidan and Scott helped us bury our father today. The entire process was flawless. They made it so easy at a time when our family was at its lowest point. Aidan always kept us in the loop and nothing was a problem. I would recommend this business to anyone. They are first class

A deep and heart felt thank you to all at John Bance & Son. You helped make the most difficult of circumstances that bit easier to navigate. You treated Mum, and the rest of the family, with such compassion and dignity, and put together a truly perfect service befitting our dear mother. The memorial book is beautiful and is something that will be forever treasured. Again, many thanks

I have personally dealt with Scott,Jocelyn and Peter over the last 10 years and I could not have gotten through without them. Jocelyn goes over and above to make the experience as easy and pleasant as it could possibly be. I can’t imagine anybody giving anymore of themselves. Scott and Peter are also caring and compassionate and make sure that the actual day runs as smooth as possible. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Sherrie Lautenbach (Atkinson).
