What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Natural funeral care is the service offered from the Hobart area through Mary Eleanor, and the feedback gathered around it describes an approach that is personal, unhurried and centred on the wishes of the person who has died. Reviews time and again mention the calm and dignity that accompanied arrangements, noting that staff listened at length to family stories before any detail was settled, and that ceremonies were shaped around ideas relatives themselves contributed.

Mimi, Sandra, Johanna, Kai, Jono and Tim are named across the comments, with their warmth, empathy and steady guidance during uncertain days noted by numerous families. One thing mentioned again and again is the breadth of practical assistance provided over an extended period, spanning venue suggestions, catering, music, floral arrangements, a guest book and technical help with a photo montage, alongside the caring escort of a body and quick answers to questions.

Communication before and after a death is described as consistent and clear, easing the load on executors and relatives alike. Affordability and personal touches are also acknowledged, and one client of the firm recognised the compassion shown to a family in its care. The outcome is a funeral experience that feels intimate and tailored rather than formal.

Cannot speak highly enough of the Mary Eleanor team, when my good friend Deb realized her journey was coming to an end, Sandra made a home visit to make the arrangements with her personally. Then Tim and the team communicated well with myself (as executor) throughout the process before and after her passing, making the process as easy as possible. They eased the sorrow of loss with empathy, kindness and commonsense helpful suggestions to guide myself along. I cannot thank them enough for their help, personal involvement and dignified approach to handling a tough time. They never lost sight of who she was, even right up to printing of the memorial pamphlets, which they drafted and wrote to personalise. Tim in particular was instrumental in his caring, helpful approach in navigating this time, for that I thank him on behalf of her family and myself. This team truly cares about people and their final journey, and about those left behind grieving, that much stands out. They care!

We had a client who was looked after by Jono and the team at Mary Elenor, and we just wanted to acknowledge the care and compassion that was shown. Jono was incredibly professional, respectful, and supportive during a very difficult time. The service provided to the family was thoughtful and handled with great dignity. Thank you for the kindness and support

Mimi was the celebrant at our dear Dad’s memorial this week and we couldn’t speak more highly of her presence. Mimi captured exactly what we were after and meeting her in the days prior was a really reflective experience. Thank you Mimi for helping us farewell our Dad.

Thank you Mary Eleanor Natural Funeral Care for your wonderful and affordable service. I will always treasure your personal touches and care with the arrangements for my partner. When one is feeling so fragile and vulnerable the warmth and sensitivity I received in my contact with you was very special, and has given me lasting moments that I will treasure for ever. Thank you.

We found the very best with Mary Eleanor Natural Funeral Care to help us through one of the most difficult times. The level of care and compassion shown was incredible, with guidance and support every step of the way. Mimi, the most beautiful soul, showed such genuine consideration and empathy — we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. You helped us create the perfect service and celebration, exactly as we envisioned it. The care, thoughtfulness, and attention to every detail was outstanding. We cannot recommend Mary Eleanor Natural Funeral Care enough — we truly couldn’t have done it without them.

When everything felt so sad for our family and friends the people at Mary Eleanor provided comfort, dignity, sincerity and a sense of calm. Of all the services that we never hope to have to call upon surely this is high on the list. So when you experience the tragedy of losing a loved one we hope you find as kind and caring support as these guys were for us.
