Anne Irvine 21st Nov 2023

Fiona and Vlaire, along with everyone else were outstanding. They were supportive, informative, and a great help to us at a very sad and emotional time in our lives. Thank you

Bev Boon 15th Nov 2023

From the very first phone call to the funeral service itself Fiona treated us with such kindness and thoughtfulness. Emma who directed the service did so with dignity and so much respect to Graeme and to the family. Jackie the celebrant recommended by Fiona was outstanding in the way she pulled together a beautiful eulogy after spending an afternoon with the family when we laughed and cried talking about how special Big G was to us. I appreciate there were several other people in the background involved to support the whole process. On behalf of myself and my children, Rachael, Stuart and Scott I'd like to thank everyone so much for bringing together everything needed to make a difficult day a joy and celebration of Big G's life.
