What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Funeral direction, chapel and graveside ceremonies, cemetery arrangements and celebrant-led services are among the offerings of this Five Dock provider, and the accounts left by families return again and again to how calmly and competently the arrangements were handled. Adam, whose name appears throughout the feedback, is portrayed as patient, compassionate and straightforward in his dealings. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the ease of reaching the team directly, with follow-up communication continuing before and after the service rather than being routed through a call centre.

The dignity shown to the deceased is noted frequently, as are the punctuality and seasoned judgement of the staff, including Kathy, while a celebrant the firm put forward also drew warm words. Reviews regularly refer to the personalised attention given to particular requests, the smooth running of proceedings even when a death was sudden, and the sensitive handling of an ashes scattering at sea. Families also describe the pricing as clear and reasonable. Requests ranging from chapel ceremonies to graveside services were accommodated in detail, which helped make an intensely difficult period feel less burdensome for those arranging it. Several accounts note that the team remained contactable and responsive throughout.

Our experience with caring funerals was indeed a very gentle compassionate and professional one . The communication and follow up was always a constant and the dignity in which my father was afforded throughout the whole process was wonderful. Thank you for making a very difficult and grieving time as seamless as possible for my family.

This was about six years ago, and i'm just going through some of dads effects. We had a scattering of ashes at sea where a boat was chartered. It was a very good service for my father, but just a few minor issues - the refreshments consisted of just a bottle of soft drink, they forgot the flowers and turned the boat around to come back (not a big deal), and the bigger one was they quoted a price that didnt include GST but didn't say that and we only found out later (I see this is now changed).

Adam and the team at Caring Funerals were wonderful throughout the entire process. It made a difficult time a lot easier to handle. They were honest and compassionate from beginning to end. I am so glad I found them, to organise my wonderful mother's funeral.

A big thank you to Adam and Kathy for their help with our daughter's funeral which ran very smoothly. They are punctual, experienced at what they do and empathetic. Our dear daughter died suddenly on boxing day 2022 aged 21 months. It was and still is an extremely painful and difficult time. The worst pain a parent ever have to go through. Seeing our child and holding her in our arms was very important to us, especially given it would be our last moments that we would ever be able to hold her on this side of heaven. Kathy and Adam tried hard to enable us to see her as much as we could. Adam even came in for an hour during a public holiday for he knew how much it meant to us to see her. We are always grateful to Adam for enabling this. Kathy would share with us her own loss as well and share in our grief. Caring funerals isn't just a funeral home that just do funerals. People like Kathy who work there understand the pain and grief of a loss and is able to empathise, care for us and share in the grief. Her kindness makes a lot of difference in what is the darkest moments of our lives. It reminds us that though this is a broken world with sin and death, that there is love and kindness in people. We look heavenward to Jesus, who holds our dear baby safe in his arms. We know one day when God eventually calls us home too, we will be reunited with her again.
