John and the team are amazing in what they do. From the first moment we met John at his office in Blacktown, it was obvious that he really cares about his clients. He is very professional, yet also a very decent human being. So much attention was paid to ensure all aspects of the preparation for my father’s funeral were second to none. He did not try and sell us anything we didn’t need and I could not fault anything he did for us. A man of his word, he delivered on everything as promised. Bless you John, Corinne and the team.

Carissimo John

Although my heart has been and is shattered for the passing of my Great Love, Stewart, I want to THANK YOU.

Your care and yours and your staff’s respect and professionalism shone brightly on such a dark event, Stewart’s final send off to Heaven.

For now, I can only repeat…THANK YOU for a Job well done. PERFECT!

Sincerely

I recently had to say good-bye to my wife of 25 years. I rang around a few places as advised. Some big, some smaller. When l spoke to John though it just seemed to click. He asked the right questions. He had the right attitude and l got the feeling that he truly cared. I wasn’t just another job. This might sound a little crass, but I was also reassured by his prices. Not that this is all important, but when your dealing with an unknown it is something you pay attention to. Everything was reasonable. When we met and talked about what l wanted and what he could provide, time wasn’t an issue. l wasn’t made to feel like he had another appointment waiting.

Our service was a little unusual in that it was in the home, but everything was handled professionally and also with feeling. All the staff were appropriately and uniformly dressed, courteous but also human. I also had something different than the standard Order of Service booklet produced as l wasn’t having a Celebrant etc. It was more a tribute booklet really, and John helped me organise that as well. It turned out just the way l was hoping it would. The floral arrangement was perfect, and l mean perfect, exactly what my wife would have liked. And l was surprised but also very touched that at the end they walked the hearse away. It brought a tear to my eye.

Whilst l did not find John and Funerals of Compassion through word of mouth like many do, l would very much recommend their services. It felt like l had an actual friend helping me through it all.

My family used John and his team in September 2018. These people are fantastic, reliable, and really look after you. They make you feel like part of their family. I would strongly recommend John to anyone, and have just recently handed his information to a close friend.

Dear John

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for arranging the cremation and all that you have done and how smoothly you ran Joe’s funeral. Your professionalism was over and beyond you showed so much compassion. Your patience when dealing with all of us who was involved with Joe’s service what you did was very appreciated. David was a great clergy, his service captured Joe’s personality perfectly. Although we were saying goodbye to Joey, this day was perfect, we couldn’t fault it. Your wife did a wonderful job on the flowers they were beautiful. We will definitely be recommending your company/services.

Thank you again

On behalf of the Sorbello Family, we would like to thank you John and Vicky dearly for the beautiful funeral that was done for my late husband Alf Sorbello on the 16th of July. The day was perfect and the whole process from beginning to end was perfect.

I will never be able to thank you both enough for your support and comfort during this difficult time.
