What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Tewantin families frequently turn to this funeral director when arranging a service for a parent or relative, and the reviews describe a consistently compassionate experience. Lauren, Kellie, Saskia, Nicole and Greg are each named by customers who felt supported from the first meeting through to the collection of ashes. Several reviewers highlight how promptly calls, emails and texts were answered, and how staff adjusted arrangements without fuss when personal or out-of-the-ordinary requests arose. The personalisation of services is a recurring theme, with celebrants sourced through the company and memorial or cremation arrangements handled with dignity.

Reviewers often mention the warmth of the team, the care taken with children and extended family, and the way difficult days were made to run smoothly. A Christmas memorial service and follow-up contact after the funeral are also noted as thoughtful touches. Grief support, advice and honest guidance are described as part of the service, alongside professional organisation of the celebration of life itself. Families speak of feeling genuinely heard and never rushed, and the lasting impression is of staff who treat each person as an individual rather than a case number.

We had an excellent experience with Drysdale Funerals and are deeply grateful for the care and professionalism shown to our family during such a difficult time. Lauren was absolutely wonderful — warm, kind, and incredibly supportive. Nothing was too much trouble, and she went above and beyond to ensure our family member’s memorial service and cremation were handled with dignity and care. Her compassion made a genuine difference to us. All of the staff were respectful, organised, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Everything was managed seamlessly, allowing us to focus on remembering and honouring our loved one. We would highly recommend Drysdale Funerals to anyone seeking compassionate and professional care.

We cannot speak more highly of the team at Drysdale Funerals, Tewantin. From our initial contact the team met our needs with compassion, support and understanding. We thank Kylie and Ken who were superb. They took care in a way you would hope any loved one would receive. We then met with Lauren who was also just the right energy at a difficult time. She was warm, compassionate, honest, highly organised and efficient and so very professional while also so personable and caring. Lauren made every aspect of my mum’s funeral just right and we could not recommend her and the Drysdale’s team more highly.

2 months ago we lost my Mum. The thought of planning Mums funeral while we were grieving was so overwhelming. We felt such a relief when we met with Lauren from Drysdale Funerals Tewantin. Our family were blown away by her professionalism, kindness and her warming presence. Lauren went above and beyond to ensure my Mum’s funeral was personalised and that everything ran smoothly on the day. We are so thankful to have had Lauren by our sides throughout this difficult time.

My mother Dorothy passed away recently, age 95. She was a gentle lady. Kind to every person she encountered. I arranged her funeral with Drysdale Tewantin . Lauren and Greg were my go to, there for me every step of the way . They gave back to Mum the care, respect and love that she herself so openly gave during her own life. My every phone call, email and text were answered personally and promptly. I felt totally encompassed with compassion and kindness . I was introduced to Victoria our celebrant ,who was perfect and conducted the most beautiful service. Thank you to all the staff at Drysdale Funerals especially to Lauren and Greg . I am so very grateful . Cheryl

From the moment that I entered Drysdale Funerals at Tewantin, I was greeted by Saskia (Barlow), who was so lovely and caring that obviously came from her heart. I was in quite a state, as my wonderful father, Geoffrey, was obviously close to passing, and Saskia provided the kindness and support that I needed at that time and also thereafter following the very sad passing of my Dad. I cannot speak highly enough of just how Saskia handled the whole situation and made myself and my family so comfortable at such a difficult time for us all. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she is a wonderful caring human being. She is one in a million, and she genuinely touched our hearts. I want to shout out and to say a huge thank you to Saskia and her team of wonderful caring people.
