I know that my Father was looking over us when the usual funeral providers could not accommodate the dates for my Dad’s funeral. I was given John and Vicki’s contact details and everything from then seemed to just come together at such a difficult time. Everything was perfect – the casket was fully imported from Italy, the red roses abundant, bright, full and fresh, the booklets, the cross, the professional and caring drivers, the ladies at the church, the organised singer and of course John being extremely caring and professional etc. Although a difficult day, I know that my Dad would have been pleased as the day represented him. Those that attended from near and far commented that it was a graceful and beautiful service.

Thank You John and team, you made a difficult day be filled with love, caring and grace.

Thank you so much for the lovely funeral service you provided for my father. Everything was done so professionally, the flowers were beautiful. John was soeasy to talk too and that helped my elderly mother very much.

I can’t thank John & Vicki enough for the kindness and empathy they extended to me after the passing of my father. The personal service I received due to you being a Small Family Business really shone through from start to finish and I am forever grateful, for the extra time, effort and empathy you showed my family.

Thank you

Mark and his team were helping us organising our mums funeral without fuss, without preasure and with just the right advise and support we needed. Our funeral was web-casted and many people from Europe and South America commented on how well the funeral seemed to have been prepared, the compassion of the conviener and services provided. I had never had to organise a funeral before, so dealing with “professionals” in this field was daunting at first. But Mark and his very capable team delivered well above expectations.

I wish to extend my sincere thanks to John and his staff at “Funeral of Compassion” they were very professional, understanding and compassionate to my loss. I would have no hesitation in recommending them, they were very amiable on any of my requests and there price was very comparative.

When my father passed away we were devastated but also at a lose as what to do next. After speaking to John it was all very clear. I had never organised a funeral before. John made it all so simple and much easier than I was expecting. John was extremely caring and very professional at every step. He communicated with us and helped us do everything involved with my fathers funeral. I could not of asked for a more compassionate or caring company to help us through this hard time. I would like to thank John and his team for his outstanding services. He is such a compassionate, lovely person who truly shows how much he cares. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Well John

What can I say about your business!

From the first moment that you came to my house I felt like I had known you for years. You made me feel so comfortable. I know why your business is called Funerals of Compassion because that’s exactly what you show. So much compassion. I cannot recommend you and your staff enough.

I feel like I have a life long friendship with you John. Thank you so much again.

Dear John and Mark

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for the wonderful service held recently in the Magnolia Chapel, Macquarie Park for my partner Aaron Verek.

Mark was so patient and understanding I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help organise Aaron’s funeral. Everyone said the service was really lovely and the live streaming was a real bonus for all of his family. Thank you again for everything and especially for being so patient with my last minute photos and decisions!!

David Reardon was perfect too, loved the humour that he added to the speeches and he couldn’t have chosen a more suitable poem for the Thank You cards which looked brilliant.

Everything really was just amazing, will definitely be recommending you should the occasion arise.

Many thanks and kind regards

Dear John and Vicki

I would like to express our utmost gratitude not only for yesterday but for everything you’ve done over the last couple of days. The compassion you showed when dealing with Nikola and I in such difficult circumstances was a great comfort. Yesterday went without a glitch. The flowers Vicki arranged were stunning. The hearse was beautiful. David did a great job at the memorial. Your attention to detail and the respect you showed to our dad was touching and we will never forget it. What was truly an emotional and upsetting experience, was made easier by everyone’s kindness and most importantly professionalism from the beginning to the end. I can see that for you it is not just about doing the job, it’s just that you are kind, compassionate and caring people.

Our deepest gratitude to both of you and everyone else involved.

Dear John

Thank you so much for arranging all the details for my father’s service today. Please thank your wife for the very beautiful flower arrangement and your entire team. Your thoughtfulness throughout has been amazing and I truly appreciate it. I think it no accident that you came to speak to me and blocked the view between my mother and I on exit.

Thank you also for being so understanding re costs, although at the end of the day that pales into significance against the care you and your team provided.

Given all the circumstances, the service could not have gone better and my Dad had a beautiful day for it too, as he should have.

Thanks and regards
