Hi John,

On behalf of our families I would like to thank you for the perfect and fitting tribute to our beloved Luisa.

The funeral summed her up beautiful, quiet, serene and a real lady.

Our love and respect goes out to you

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the amazing people from Funerals of Compassion, John, Vicki and Joe for a beautiful and dignified service of my late father Michael Papanikolaou, John you went above and beyond for my family and especially organising the funeral in such a short time to accommodate my brother. I can never thank you enough…

God Bless you All.

Dearest Giovanni

Just want to say a big thank you for today. Your business name absolutely suits you perfectly. Throughout the day we felt comforted.

We came home and Sailesh said he had a great feeling with you right from the start over the phone. He had spoken to four others but got a good vibe from you.

This is a very sad and uneasy time for us and we very much appreciate your compassion during this time.

We didn’t feel rushed at any moment and felt comfortable carrying out our rituals as per our elders request. Thank you.

We also appreciate the small gestures like the tissues and mint. They came in handy. And we also appreciated you asking us if everything was ok through out the time there.

These sorts of gestures and compassion isn’t common in this busy world.

We thank you from our hearts for taking care of us and our Dad.

Please also thank your wife for the gorgeous flowers. It was nice of you to ask me to take them home as I would have otherwise felt it rude to ask. My home looks beautiful and bright now with flowers everywhere. Thank you.

Kind Regards
Kripa & Sailesh Rangoons

Dear John and Vicki, David and other members of your team. You all made the Celebration of my son, Antony Healey’s life a smooth and easy transition. The smallest detail was attended to, tissues and water for all who attended, the care and consideration before, during and after was above and beyond, my family and friends cannot thank you all enough, if there was a rating for such things, you would get 20 out of 10.

Thanks Again

We just want to thank John and David for being so caring before and after the funeral for my dear mother-in-law, ‘Pat’.

The funeral was a celebration of her life and everyone mentioned what a lovely service it was. You both made the sad day turn into a beautiful farewell.

Dear Rocco

I want you to know how appreciative I am for the lovely way in which you conducted my beautiful mums funeral. The flowers were OUTSTANDING. I am just so happy with them and received so many comments on how stunning they were. As far as coffins go, the coffin was beautiful also and am so happy we upgraded. Thank you so much. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to have looked after my mum. Your staff were beautiful.

Sadly this is the second time we have had to use Funerals of Compassion in a little over two years. Our dad died recently and there was no question who we would use after my brothers funeral. John and his team arranged an excellent service for dad. Firstly a requiem mass at dad’s local church, and then a memorial service at the crematorium. It was just beautiful. Nothing was too hard. John was simply there for us, making sure we had everything dad and we wanted for his send off. Thank you John for your support of our family at this very difficult time. We really appreciate how far you went to make sure everything is perfect. You took all the stress out of the event and we could just concentrate on dad, which we loved. I’ve had lots of people ask for your contact details since then, so everyone noticed all the extra little things you arranged.

With our deepest affection,
Jo-Anne and Amanda Ryan, and all of John Ryan’s family.

Dear John

We cannot thank you enough for helping us give Mum a beautiful send off.

You were a blessing in disguise coming into lives at this time and not once did you make us feel that any of our questions or requests were a bother.

The work that you, your wife and your team do is so important – Don’t stop doing what you do with such caring, compassion and sensitivity.

Sincerely
Lorraine, Lillian and Alex
Family of the beloved Valery Choy
