What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

People who had lost a parent, sibling or spouse, often without warning, sought a straightforward cremation and found Safewill Cremations steady throughout. Named staff including Gail, Alexa, Emily, Kieren, Brittany, Chloe and Joshua recur in accounts for their patience, warmth and respectful manner. Something that features in review after review is the handling of paperwork: families describe being walked through the documents required, with questions resolved swiftly and explained plainly. More than one review highlights how quickly matters moved, one noting arrangements completed inside two weeks and the death certificate delivered by hand.

Contact before and after the cremation draws consistent praise, particularly follow-up calls and the careful return of ashes. Cost is raised by several as reasonable and open, with no unexpected charges, even when collecting a loved one from a rural property. The dignity shown to the deceased and the gentleness offered to grieving relatives run through the feedback. Emily’s experience as a funeral director is singled out alongside her composed approach, and the reassurance carried through each exchange stays with the families served.

The most dishonest, despicable, unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. We prepaid my Fathers funeral in October 22 with all the promises in the world. My father passed on 9 February 24, the hospital called Safewill Cremations to let them know around 10.30am Friday morning. 3.30pm in the afternoon, I received a call to say that they were at capacity and couldn't accommodate the collection or service the contract we paid for. They suggested another company and passed on our information to them. We are grateful to the other company for the professionalism and service they provided. How this company can do this to people when they're at their most vulnerable state is absolutely beyond me. I'm sure there will be many people out there who have prepaid loved ones funerals only to be faced with the same problems we have and by the look of the last few reviews, my case is not unique. Safewill have great reviews for preparing people wills, I hope no one is getting fooled into prepaying their funerals at the same time.

My husband died on a Saturday night and after contacting a few local funeral directors who didn’t get back to me. I googled and found safe will I enquired about a cremation and they rang me back first thing the next morning and were very helpful and I was quite concerned as we live rural and I wanted them to understand where I lived and was worried about extra cost incurred to pick my husband up but that was not the case there was no hidden costs. They were very informative and rang me and communicated with me every step of the way about when they were going to pick my husband up when he was being cremated and when the ashes were being sent back to me. All the staff were very helpful, lovely and empathetic I would highly recommend safe will cremations.

At a very difficult time my family and I were put at ease. Alexa at Safewill Cremations calmed our situation and made everything we needed possible. Absolute care and respect was given to our loved one and a very emotional time and process became seamless. Very affordable which was important to us due to going through this unexpectedly. Can’t thank Alexa enough for everything she did for our family….

Having experienced the sudden death of my Mother, I was reluctant to search the internet for a cremation service provider to fulfil my Mother's wishes. Any doubts were overcome when I contacted Safewill. The whole process was done within two weeks. Along the way, I was kept up to date with each step. They even hand delivered the death certificate to my front door. I highly recommend Safewill.

My family were shocked at the passing of our loved one. Unfortunately our beliefs didn't include funeral or service at this time. At Safewill they helped me getting my loved one cremated & getting his death certificate out straight away. I would recommend Safewill to anyone suffering as they are so kind, patient & understanding at one of the worst times in a family's life

I called Safewill Cremations On 13/02/2023 late in the evening and I had a very heartfelt, compassionate conversation with Alexa about their services and processes. I just wanted to understand how it all works and what the options are, and they were nothing short of wholesome. I would highly recommend their services if you have recently lost someone or just want to have a plan in place. Keep up the great work Alexa :)

I cannot recommend Safewill funerals highly enough. We live in the Riverina and when my mum passed suddenly the local undertaker wanted 7K for a basic cremation. I found Safewill online and the whole process with them made such a difficult time a lot easier. I was kept informed every step of the way and the price was less than half of the local undertakers quote. Safewills professionalism and compassion is outstanding and I have no problems recommendeing them to anyone.
