What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Simplicity Funerals Cairns is consistently described by families as compassionate, professional and well organised at every stage of arranging a funeral in the Cairns district. A theme that comes up often is the guidance offered from the first phone call and planning meeting through to the ceremony and the later collection of ashes, with staff said to be respectful, accommodating and calm under pressure. Christine Knight is named repeatedly for her warmth, honesty and clear professional advice, and Tania Cobham, Liza, Kerry, Lee and Nicole are also singled out for prompt communication and a caring manner.

Reviewers frequently note how smoothly services came together, sometimes at short notice, including a cremation arranged for a son and a trip undertaken on the family's behalf. The chapel setting and the presentation of tributes are mentioned often, with families describing ceremonies as beautiful and fitting and stressing that no request seemed too much trouble. Funeral direction, funeral home care, cremation and chapel services, life celebrations and follow-up support all feature in the accounts. Patience with families making difficult decisions and careful coordination on the day are recurring points, and the guidance of named staff remains the most constant element in the feedback.

Not knowing anything about funeral directors in Cairns, we chose Simplicity Funerals purely by chance. But what a fortunate chance it was. We were met at the counter by Christine. She is a Kiwi like us and we made an immediate connection. Christine was pleasantly efficient throughout the process. She gently prompted us when needed and never missed a beat herself, ensuring all details were attended to on time for the day of the service which ran perfectly as planned. Christine is well experienced. She answered all our many questions, offered options and provided excellent advice on dealing with all aspects of the complicated process. We strongly recommend Simplicity Funerals and thank them, and especially Christine, for supporting us so well. We were in safe hands.

Liza and her team at Simplicity were dedicated and wonderful to work with. She was very professional, compassionate, understanding, accommodating, organised and respectful throughout the entire process. The facilities were first class and Dad had a beautiful service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Liza and Simplicity for your loved ones.

I had the most wonderful experience with a funeral director here. I wish I remembered her name! My father passed away in July 2023, and she was the most kind and patient woman I’ve ever met, I still think about her to this day! 🩷

I recently had the most incredible experience with Christine, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care, support, and dedication she showed me. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to assist me during a difficult time, even taking it upon herself to find information about my mum who had passed away after I had my vent about the horrible experience I was getting everywhere else. Christine was a breath of fresh air. She truly listened, empathized, and showed genuine compassion. She made sure every step of the process was explained clearly and handled respectfully. We had a viewing service, and it was absolutely beautiful—intimate, thoughtful, and everything I could have hoped for. Even adding their own little touches which I thought was really sweet Although there were other places with different pricing, it was Christine’s kindness that made all the difference and it just felt right. I’m so grateful for everything she did for us. Thank you, Christine for making such a difficult time so much easier and giving me an experience I will always be grateful for.

We thoroughly recommend Simplicity Funerals Cairns. We were from W.A. In Cairns. Suddenly faced with funeral plans of our beautiful niece Robyn. Nicole, of Simplicity Funerals and staff, were most efficient and professional. Incredibly Nicole speed dialed us thru with knowledge, respect and guidance thru every detail. So pleased with the beautiful funeral and service, at the Simplicity premises. The livestreaming, and special care of every detail and us. From our arrival to Simplicity to completion. Special thanks to Nicole for organising and delivering Robyn's cremated remains to us at Martyn St cemetery. Staying with us for the burial of petals and ashes with Robyn's father Bill. Many thanks again to Nicole and all the wonderful staff at the Simplicity Funerals. Robert and Halina Klimek

Simplicity funerals were very helpful and arranged everything for us. They were very professional and caring and we could not have picked a better company to organise the funeral service and cremation of our beloved son Virgil. Special thanks to Christine and Lee for the wonderful service they put together. Robert & Alwine
