What customers say
Based on genuine customer reviews
In Roselands, Sydney Memorial Cremations handled the funeral arrangements for a father, and the family later described the team as helpful, considerate and reassuring. Caroline, named in one account, guided a family through an unexpected death and was responsive from the first conversation, with no sense of being hurried and with the family's wishes understood.
Communication was described as excellent throughout, and the two accounts tell of a service suited to a peaceful remembrance, with the family glad the arrangements were made through this provider. The cremation service is listed at 890 Canterbury Rd, Roselands NSW 2196.
Reviews

The team at Sydney memorial Cremations were helpful, considerate and reassuring. The communication was excellent and we are so glad we had our Dads service organised through them. The service was perfect for what we needed to peacefully remember our Dad. I highly recommend them.
I can't recommend Sydney Memorial Cremations highly enough. When my Mum died unexpectedly, Caroline from Sydney Memorial was right there, guiding me through the process. I had made inquiries with other, better known, funeral directors, but Caroline was the most responsive and I felt comfortable with her from the start. We never felt rushed or misunderstood about what we wanted. This level of responsiveness continued throughout the process, despite it being a very busy time for them. Caroline's expertise and caring made arranging the funeral as smooth as it could have been. The service itself went really well. The celebrant recommended by Caroline was great and the staff attending on the day from Sydney Memorial Cremations were great too. This is the best funeral director experience I have had (I've had some poor experiences elsewhere), and I would use them again as a first choice.
