What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Cremation services and funeral arrangements at Simplicity Funerals Parkwood in Gold Coast are repeatedly described as handled with genuine compassion and steady professionalism, with the funeral director Kyra named by many families as the person who made a difficult period manageable. Reviewers note that she clarified legal requirements, maintained contact before and after the service, and gave generously of her time. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is how smoothly the planning was carried out, with pre-paid arrangements and sudden queries alike dealt with calmly.

The celebrant Dean is singled out for the response he drew from guests, while the funeral itself is described as elegant, respectful and well delivered, including a farewell held at Allambie. Attention to detail and consistent communication across a hard week recur in the accounts, and families describe being free to focus on their grief while the logistics were handled by the team.

Top class service, Kyra who handled all our arrangements for the Funeral was one of the most understanding and compassionate person I have ever met. I would recommend any family to kyra to handle their Funeral affairs.

When faced with the tragedy of losing a loved one and never having had to deal with the journey of organising everything ourselves, Kyra from Simplicity was the angel we needed. From helping us navigate the legal requirements to having our loved one looked after while in her care, Kyra made the sure we were informed and supported 100%. Her care and help was so appreciated by our family, we could never thank her enough and recommend Simplicity as a team and Kyra as a standout when having to deal with what none of us are ever prepared for. Thank you Kyra!!!!

We cannot thank Kyra and the team at Simplicity enough for the incredible compassion, care and support they gave our family during the most heartbreaking time in our lives. After recently helping us through the loss of our beautiful Mum, Kyra was once again there for us for Dad’s farewell, and her kindness, patience and genuine warmth meant more than words can express. She cared for Dad with such dignity and respect, and guided our family through every step with compassion and understanding. The service she helped create was beautiful, personal and full of love. Exactly the farewell Dad deserved. During moments when everything felt overwhelming, Kyra brought calm, comfort and reassurance to our family, and we will never forget that. If you are looking for someone who truly cares and will support your family like their own, I cannot recommend Kyra highly enough. We are deeply grateful for everything she has done for us.

We have today had Mum's farewell at Allambie arranged by the amazing team at Simplicity Parkwood. I prepaid for the Funeral 6 months ago and have dealt with Kyra Green as our Funeral Director. I CAnnot speak more highly of Kyra and her team. They made a very difficult week run smoothly with total communication, compassion and reassurance when needed. They delivered the complete service and my whole family were impressed. They took away any worry and coordinated with our Minister and Allambie and kept me 100% informed at all times. We were privileged to have handle mum's final farewell.

Kyra was respectful and courteous, even very generous with her time. As with the name, kept things relatively simple so would recommend Kyra and Simplicity Funerals at Parkwood

We recently worked with Kyra and the team at Simplicity Funerals, and I can’t speak highly enough of the care we received. Especially Kyra — she made an incredibly difficult time so much easier for our family. Her compassion, warmth, and professionalism were evident from the very beginning. Even with all our emails, constant changes, and adjustments, Kyra never wavered. She remained patient, understanding, and completely committed to making sure everything was just right for our family. She ensured every detail — even the finest ones — was taken care of, which gave us so much comfort during a heartbreaking time. Her communication was excellent, and we always felt supported and informed. I would highly recommend Kyra and the team at Simplicity Funerals. Their attention to detail and genuine compassion truly set them apart.
