What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

People planning ahead for their own funeral, and those returning to the same firm over many years, form the types of customers described in feedback about this funeral director and cremation provider in the Maitland district. A theme running through the accounts is the personal care shown by staff, with Dominique, Hannah and Gavin named for their compassion and professionalism. Reviewers frequently point to that instructions were followed closely, including a service arranged in advance that reflected the person's own wishes.

Guidance through each stage of organising a funeral is a point that comes up often, with requests met and staff going beyond expectations to reduce pressure on families. Communication across the arrangements is regularly acknowledged, as is the respectful handling of the deceased. One family described the firm as feeling like part of their own family throughout. A long-standing customer noted having used the business on several occasions. The celebrant service and the support given when finalising a loved one's journey remain the practical elements highlighted, alongside warmth shown at a difficult time.

From start to finish, Gavin, Hanna & Dominique felt like a part of our family, the communication, compassion & step by step guidance with organising our loved ones final journey, was outstanding & much appreciated.

Just a brief note to Hannah and the team to say thank you for your empathy and total professionalism in the treatment and organisation of our fathers funeral. You have gone over and above our expectations to ensure that everything was perfect for the celebration of the life of Colin James Killer. Any requests were met with I’m sure we can do that, this takes a lot of pressure off families in a difficult time. Thank you all again, we are forever grateful

Careless and inconsiderate. Only interested in money. I’m a low income earner and managed to come up with half of the money required, When I asked for more time to get the funds together he told me is holding my mothers body hostage and will not cremate her until the full bill is paid.
