5.0 / 5 · 98 totalSydney Funerals Co is the only company I would recommend to navigate the process of a funeral. This is the second time I have engaged the team to assist. Working closely with Scott Duncombe, during such a difficult time, they showed kindness and compassion throughout the process. No question or request was never to much for them to handle. I was kept up today on everything from costs, to timeline and due dates for requirements. This team was so flexible, sharing ideas for potential post ceremony events and able to pivot when firm decisions were made. They made both the services personalised to reflect of family members that had passed. I would never use any other funeral service provider given the flawless experience I have had with Scott and his team.
Peter Hoy and the team at Sydney Funerals guided us through our late mother’s passing with genuine compassion and care. They patiently walked us through the available options, helped organise meetings with the priest, and supported our family throughout the funeral day. They also helped ensure the viewing was handled smoothly, which gave us one less thing to worry about during a very difficult time. If you’re looking for a compassionate Funeral Director who can guide your family with professionalism and care, I highly recommend Peter and the team at Sydney Funerals.
Sydney funerals had the unenviable task of facilitating a funeral over the Christmas/new year period. Peter was very helpful and easy to talk to and provided good communication throughout. His access to celebrants, musicians and florists made it a simple process for myself and my family during a difficult time. Thank you Sydney Funerals!
We were recommended to Sydney Funerals and we are so very happy we were! From my first phone call with Scott, I knew we were in the best hands. I cannot thank Scott and the team enough for the genuine care and compassion they extended to us. From beginning to end, they were amazing.
I couldn’t fault Peter who looked after my mums funeral. Everything was discussed prior to the day and it was exactly as it was suppose to be. Peter and his team at Sydney funerals we compassionate understanding and gracious in my sad time when I lost my mum. Absolutely 5 star Thank you 🤩
Sydney Funerals were compassionate, professional and incredibly supportive during a very difficult time. Scott and Angus went above and beyond to ensure my mum’s funeral was handled with dignity, care and respect. Their kindness, clear communication and attention to detail made the whole process much easier for our family. I’m so grateful for their support and would highly recommend Sydney Funerals.
Sydney Funerals Co were the funeral company that my sister and her children had chosen to help and professionally manage my brother in law Nino’s funeral on Saturday 9th Jan 2026. Scott Duncombe and his team were very helpful with my sister and her family who had lost her incredible husband Nino and father to his four children and to the hundreds of guests that were present on the day that was 41 degrees. The attention to detail was not faulted from the fist phone call made to the day of the funeral every conversation with Scott Duncombe was always very professional with empathy, compassion and respect. Scott and his team were a major part in facilitating the service with so much respect. I highly recommend Scott and his team at Sydney Funeral & Co to help you with the hardest day a family could go through preparing a funeral for your dearly loved family member
