A.P McDonald Funeral Services

We honestly cannot thank Ashley, Paul, Sam and the rest of the team enough for everything they did for us when we lost my mum.

From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every possible way.
Having them by our side made such an incredibly difficult time that little bit easier to navigate.

Their kindness, compassion and understanding meant more than words can say. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the care and attention they gave to both Mum and our family was truly special.

They helped us give Mum the beautiful send-off she deserved, and we will always be grateful for the support, care and thoughtfulness they showed us throughout.

I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Truly wonderful people who make a very difficult time just that little bit easier. ❤️

Paul and the team have excelled themselves once again. Having made a very difficult time somewhat easier than we would have ever imagined when arranging our Mum's funeral two years ago, we had zero hesitation contacting them for our Dad's. The attention to detail, professionalism, care and compassion that everything was dealt with was more than evident throughout this very sad time. Nothing was too much trouble and our questions and queries were always answered immediately. I would not hesitate in recommending them again. Thank you, guys.

I cannot praise A.P. McDonald highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were incredible, patient, friendly, and caring throughout. Everything was excellent, and it went smoothly from the initial phone call to the day of the service.

From the very first phone call, they took us expertly through every aspect of this difficult process with kindness and sensitivity. They handled everything—from the paperwork to the small details—taking a huge weight off our shoulders.

I will always have a smile on my face when I remember My Dad's celebration of Life and thank you for this.

All our appreciation and gratitude to you, Sam and Family xx

I cannot highly praise or thank Ashley, Paul or Sam enough for their exceptional support during such a difficult time. They made the emotional and stressful process of losing a love one as gentle as imaginable, treating us with total respect and compassion. No matter when I needed a question answering or sought reassurance, they were always there for me. They are true experts and absolute professionals.

5 Emma McIntosh 21st Apr 2026

We (my three siblings and I) would highly recommend A.P.McDonald. From the moment we contacted them on the day of our fathers passing right through to the funeral both Paul and Ashley were empathetic, professional and efficient.
The whole experience of arranging the funeral within the three weeks so that family members could be at the funeral and not away travelling was seamless and without a hitch. They recommended a celebrant whom they felt would be appropriate to lead the service based on our fathers farming, rural life and she was amazing.
All those who attended the service agreed that it was a lovely service.

5 Kim Surman 14th Apr 2026

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Paul and his team during a stressful and challenging time for our family. From the moment we engaged with Paul, his empathy shone through, making us feel supported every step of the way; Nothing was too much trouble for him and his team. 

Paul went above and beyond, not only in bringing Ken back from GWH but also in offering invaluable advice on how to navigate our grief. He truly felt like part of the family, and it was clear that Ken was in compassionate hands at the funeral home.

Many attendees remarked that it was one of the best funerals they had ever attended, and I believe that Paul's dedication and attention to detail were key in creating such a respectful and caring atmosphere for celebrating Ken's life.

Thank you once again, Paul, for your kindness and unwavering support. We are deeply appreciative of everything you did for us during this difficult time.

Ashley, Paul and Sam have been absolutely brilliant throughout our bereavement: compassionate, gentle, appropriately good-humoured, with solid, practical advice and guidance. They made a painful experience extremely easy to process and deal with. I cannot praise or recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Team McDonald🙏🏻
