Our family cannot thank the team enough for everything they did for us during one of the most difficult times in our lives. From the very beginning, they treated us with such kindness, compassion and genuine care. They guided us through every step with patience and understanding, making what felt impossible so much more manageable. Every detail of Dad’s farewell was organised beautifully, and it was clear how much thought and care went into making sure everything was exactly as we wanted. A very special thank you to Donata. Her kindness, warmth and support meant more to our family than words can express. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, always making us feel cared for and never rushed. We truly felt like she treated Dad’s farewell as if it were for one of her own loved ones. Thank you to Donata and the entire team at Peter Elberg for giving Dad the beautiful farewell he deserved. We will always be grateful for your compassion, professionalism and the comfort you gave our family during such a heartbreaking time. We couldn’t recommend you more highly.
Our family first used Peter Elberg Funerals for our dad’s service two years ago, and the care and support we received stayed with us ever since. When the time came to say goodbye to our beautiful mum, we knew we were in safe hands once again. We cannot thank Peter Elberg Funerals enough for the care, compassion, and support they showed our family during such a difficult time. Mum’s service was absolutely beautiful and everything was handled with so much professionalism, warmth, and dignity. We especially want to thank Carmel, who came out to our home to help organise Mum’s funeral and was there for us every step of the way from start to finish. Her kindness, patience, and support meant more to our family than words can express. During one of the hardest times in our lives, she made us feel genuinely cared for and supported. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail reflected Mum perfectly, and it gave our family so much comfort knowing she was honoured in such a special way. Thank you for helping us give our mum the farewell she truly deserved. We will always be grateful. Tony Lee-Ann Alanna & Olivia Timpano Rob & Nella Fusco ♥️
Donata and the team at Peter Elberg did an amazing job facilitating my aunty Tina’s funeral. They were so accommodating and made endless efforts to make sure our family were supported and everything we needed for the day was all sorted. Can’t recommend them enough!!
Have recently used Peter Elberg for the Funeral of my later husband. As soon as you walk in the front door, you know you are in the right place The personal touch to detail, the warm environment and compassion everybody concerned showed toward myself and family, I could not recommend their services more highly. I thank them all deeply.
I cannot speak highly enough of Donata at Peter Engel Funerals. From the very first moment I spoke with her on the phone, to my last hug of appreciation, she was exceptionally accommodating, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of our family’s wishes for an intimate private service. She handled this with complete discretion and care. Every unusual detail we requested was managed seamlessly, and throughout the entire process she kept in constant contact with me, gently guiding me through what to expect at each step. Her professionalism was expressed with compassion and thoroughness, but what truly stood out was her leading with kindness. She listened to our requests and delivered more than we were even expecting. Donata made our incredibly painful journey feel safe, dignified, and deeply personal. We will forever be grateful to her and the team at Peter Engel Funerals for the care, respect, and love shown to our family. Frank and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and we know dad would have loved it all especially the “limo” which is all he wanted.
Damien, Peter and the whole Peter Elberg Funerals team provided an exceptional funeral service for my father and a stark difference to our mothers service we had 12 months earlier from a completely different funeral director. Small little things like a flower left on our parents from door, orchid left in my fathers coffin was really appreciated. The viewing service organised a reading by Very Rev. Protopresbyter Strahinja Janjic which we never had for our mums viewing service. The funeral ran so smoothly and on time with everything organised. I cannot speak any highly of Peter Elberg Funerals.
Dear Peter, Donata & Staff The family would like to sincerely thank you for giving Dad, a very special & wonderful Rosary and Funeral service. You gave him an amazing send off and delivered all that we requested in a professional manner. All the staff was so caring, helpful and warm hearted that we felt like family. Also compliments on your catering service and venue for the family get together. The food was great. Donata thank you for all your special phone calls to ensure the day went smoothly and putting us at ease.
