Types of funeral can vary from the traditional to the modern (including eco-friendly). We provide all of the services that you would expect from a Funeral Director (or Undertaker), and also some you may not be familiar with.

Our role is to coordinate all the things that need to be done when someone dies. Also we see it as our duty to help you understand what needs to happen as the funeral draws near.

Myself, Brother, Sister and Family wanted to send our heartfelt thanks for all your help, guidance, and support in arranging our dad’s funeral. During such a difficult and emotional time for our family, your kindness, professionalism, and patience meant more than we can express.

From the moment we first spoke, you handled every detail with such care and respect. You made an incredibly overwhelming process feel manageable, and your support allowed us to focus on remembering and honouring my dad in the way he deserved.

Once Dad was able to be moved from the hospital and to FW Marsh you did this with such speed and care. We cant express how much of a weight it took off our shoulders knowing he was where he wanted to be and we knew he was in good hands.

Please know how deeply we appreciate everything you all did for us in the lead up to and on the day of our Dad’s funeral.

Thank you for the compassion you showed our family and for ensuring that our dad’s service was carried out with dignity and thoughtfulness.

Thank you for looking after dad and going above and beyond to make his day special.

Thanks Again XX
