About the company

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Losing a spouse or parent brings a demanding set of decisions, and the Sunshine Coast households that turned to this funeral director describe being guided through them with compassion and professionalism from the first conversation. Kim, Esther, Justine, Emma and celebrant Claire are named for empathy, respect and a caring manner that made difficult discussions easier. A number of reviews mention punctuality, clear communication before and after the service, and an organised process for gathering the information needed to shape a personal tribute.

A detail many reviews return to is the knowledgeable guidance that left relatives feeling in control of arrangements, including flexible options for cremation and a beautifully created presentation reflecting the life being celebrated. Customers also note that costs were reasonable and transparent, and that the team stayed in contact afterwards, with one family returning for a second service. Several accounts highlight cheerful personalities and the respectful treatment of the deceased, discussed with gentleness. Reliability, sensitivity and genuine kindness run through the feedback, along with gratitude for arrangements that felt personal rather than transactional and for a celebrant who added a lovely touch to the ceremony.

I would like to express my appreciation for the compassionate and professional care provided by Cherish Funerals during a very difficult time for our family. From our first contact, Esther demonstrated empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to ensuring every detail was handled with care.

The service is very professional with staff that are compassionate, caring and go above and beyond with all communications. We utilised their services 15 months and again recently. We were happy that our family member was treated with such and respect. Would recommend the ladies at Cherish.

from my experience all this company wants is your money. I had the same invoice sent to me daily and sometimes twice a day. They are very un professional. I would not recommend them. I had used Swanborough Funerals in 2020 they are associated with Cherish. they were far better.

Following the recently untimely passing of my husband, my friend recommended Cherish Funerals (as she had also availed of their service). Kim & Justine were professional, compassionate and supportive during this very difficult time. They patiently walked us through every step of the process. Warm and beautiful people, I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Kim and her team made sure that everything happened as planned and stress free ensuring that my wife's funeral went ahead exactly as we wanted. I was very happy to support a local business and my experience with Cherish has confirmed that I made the right decision. David
