What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Families in Ballarat who needed to arrange a cremation or burial have described being met with genuine warmth when they were at their lowest. Karyn, sometimes written as Karen, is named repeatedly for the empathy and respect she extended to grieving relatives and for making the practical steps of organising a cremation feel simple at a time when nothing else did. A point that comes up often is the steady contact maintained throughout, with calls to check on the family's wellbeing.

One household recalls that the ashes were brought back in person so they could be present at a memorial, while another expresses thanks for the sensitivity shown from the moment a loved one was collected from home through to the return of the ashes. Reviewers also note that no request seemed too much trouble and that the support felt both professional and caring. The arrangements cover cremations and burials, and the recurring theme is the kindness and understanding of the people who handled everything.

Karen Williams from Basic Country Cremations & Burials was absolutely the most empathetic lady to deal with at a time when my world was falling apart. She made the process of arranging my husbands cremation simple and nothing was too much trouble for them from Mai who collected my husband from our home to Karen who personally delivered my husband’s ashes back to me. I will forever be grateful to Karen for her kindness and understanding during this devastating time for me. Thank you is not enough.

Karyn at Basic country cremations was absolutely amazing to deal with for my Dad’s cremation. She went out of her way to ensure we had his ashes for his memorial, and constantly checked in to make sure we were ok. Cannot recommend Karyn enough, thank you for all of your support during such a terrible time.
