What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Peter Fry Funerals is repeatedly described by families in Maitland as compassionate and respectful throughout the arrangement of funerals and cremation services. Several customers note that Peter himself has handled services for both parents, and reviewers often remark that his calm, hands-on approach made a difficult process far less stressful. A point that comes up often is the seamless coordination of arrangements, including last-minute changes, which families say ran smoothly and without fuss.

The professionalism of Peter and team members such as Tom and Lani is frequently praised, along with their kindness, patience and clear communication before and after the service. Families remember being guided through decisions with understanding when grief made thinking difficult, and the dignity shown to the person who had died is a recurring theme. Many describe the funeral itself as a beautiful and fitting send-off, with attention to detail and personal touches reflecting the wishes of the family.

Reviewers also mention feeling supported rather than pressured, with the expense handled considerately, and gratitude is expressed for the gentle care extended to relatives and foster families alike.

I cannot speak highly enough of Peter Fry Funerals. Peter has taken care of both of my parents’ funerals now, and during such difficult times, his support meant everything to our family. He is incredibly compassionate, hands-on, and genuinely caring in every aspect of what he does. Peter goes above and beyond to ensure everything is handled with dignity and respect. He is not only professional, but also a truly beautiful person, and we are so grateful for the care and kindness he and his team have showed our family. Thanks Pete xxx

Peter Fry came recommended to assist us in organizing my mums funeral recently. We are so glad we went with them. Peter and Tom went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were very adaptable with making very quick and last minute changes. They were so kind and courteous and extremely professional. We could not recommend them enough. Thank you again.
