What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Around Hervey Bay, families arranging funerals, burials and memorials through J Kirk & Sons consistently highlight the compassion and professionalism of the team, with Sharon, Rob Hall, Lily, Sonia, Kat and Jess named for the care and guidance offered during difficult arrangements. The grounds and chapel are regularly described as beautiful and well maintained, and personal touches such as photo montages, chosen music and casket flowers are credited with making services feel fitting and individual.

More than one customer describes staff welcoming family humour, showing sincerity and allowing loved ones to be farewelled in keeping with their wishes, while the celebrant is praised for accommodating a non-traditional service and parking is noted as straightforward. A point made in several accounts is inconsistency on practical matters: dissatisfied accounts describe slow replies to enquiries about funeral options, unclear guidance on the use of the rooms once a service ended, and a lengthy wait for a prepaid headstone. The recurring picture is warm personal attention at the arrangements themselves, set against uneven follow-through once the more routine logistics come into play.

Hi Lily and Sonia, I wanted to express my sincere thanks for your work done towards Rita Acre's funeral. Sonia, you were fabulous to work with. Professional and human at the same time. The flowers for the casket were stunning and Exactly what I was hoping they would be. Your guidance helped me fulfill Rita's wishes beautifully. Lily, that photo montage and the music were wonderful. The backgrounds were perfect. The staff on the day were great too. Have time to organise finance is greatly appreciated. An elegant classy funeral. A lively colourful celebration after.

Kat and Jess were so amazing through the most darkest time of my life. They were exactly what I needed to help give my husband a beautiful send off. I cant thank them enough for the pure kindness they showed me and my boys. From the moment we walked in they were nothing but welcoming and sincere and helped what felt like an unbearable process, bearable. Thankyou so much Kat and Jess x

I cannot thank the ladies of J Kirk & Sons enough for the kindness that was shown to us upon the passing of my dearest friend. They answered every question and provided excellent service for our loved one. I picked up the ashes today and can only say that they are the kindest people who are there for you when you need them the most. 5 Stars all the way, Our family could not be happier and would gladly recommend their company to anyone looking for a professional and outstanding company. Cassandra.

My Parents have been waiting for a Headstone for 6 Months which I have pre paid for. Been promised a month ago it would have been done by last week at the very latest, my Grand Fathers Anniversary is coming up and my family are less than impressed all we have is a bloody orange Witches Hat that has been there since my Grand Mother was buried Early Dec last year, not good enough, staff used to be caring.
