Testimonials

My mother recently passed away after a long battle with a terminal illness. I had the opportunity, which i know many won't have, of being able to prepare for mums funeral and phone around to compare services and price etc. After my first phone call of enquiry to Jana, i felt very happy with the fixed fee and what was included - you never really know if there would be something missing that you would be charged for at a later time but Jana was very reassuring that everything that needed to be included, was. After i made some comparison calls, i was quite delighted at what was provided for the price. Having given the go ahead to Classic to organise everything, i just felt so happy and relieved that there was nothing i needed to do or worry about. Our celebrant Carol, who Jana had organised, was just a delight and just ran everything so wonderfully. Many people at mums memorial commented on how lovely, appropriate and personal the service was and the care they took with all of us on the day - well, I just couldn't have asked for anything more. I just don't see how some other companies i spoke to could charge as much as they were for the same service. I truly couldn't recommend them enough to anyone. Thank you so very much Jana, Carol and Adam.

Hi Jarna and Carol,

Jared and I wanted to thank you both so much for the treatment you gave to us and Jack over the past week and to let you know that yesterday afternoon’s farewell to Jack was perfect.

In what has been the toughest week of our life we are so grateful for the sensitivity you gave to us during such a difficult time.

We really were blown away by how beautiful Jack looked, just like a little angel, it was an amazing moment.

Carol you were fantastic from the moment you walked in to meet us and we thank you for the conversations you had with mum and for giving us the extra time that we needed to make the decision.

Jarna you are brilliant, I guess our biggest concern was that Jack wasn’t going to look well and also how difficult it was going to be to see a little white casket. But what you did to not only Jack but also give him the true blue Aussie send off was what dreams are made of.

The Australian flags, the boxing kangaroo and the southern cross as well as the green and gold floral arrangement, roses, butterflies and added extra’s to Jack’s casket were all above and beyond our expectations.

A Classic Angel Funeral is something that as a couple we never wanted to have to endure but it was the two of you and your team that gave it the individual person touch, giving respect and dignity to our nine month old son and to our family.

Yesterday when we farewelled our little man Jack was a very special moment for us and we want to thank the entire team at Classic Funeral Services from the bottom of our hearts for making the hardest day of our life so memorable.

Thanks again, take care

Kind Regards

Brooke and Jared Clarke

Carol, Jarna and Classic were magnificent at Brody's funeral. I expect you were even more helpful at the interment. Congratulations. Bob Maguire.

Hello Lisa, I would like to send you my warmest thanks for the lovely account of my late mother's life you gave yesterday. The staff were extremely nice people who obviously cared about the job they were doing, making everyone feel at ease. On an occasion such as this it is very comforting to have caring people such as yourself on hand to make everything flow smoothly.

Dear Jarna, Thank you for the professional and considerate manner in which you and your staff organised mum’s funeral. All our varied requirements were met by you and it was clear that nothing was too much trouble. Mum was extremely well presented and viewing her was a comfort to us. Thank you for the extra flowers for the family ‘remembrance’ in the service and your generosity with your time while we served refreshments. I appreciated your understanding of what we wanted at the crematorium chapel, and at short notice arranging for us to accompany mum to the crematoria. My feeling about the funeral is that we honoured mum in the way we wanted to do it and your assistance in that was greatly appreciated. Yours faithfully, Howard - (Revd Howard Langmead)

Hi Larry, On behalf of myself and my family I would like to thank and Jarna for the lovely service you provided for our dad it was most appreciated the extra little but memorable touches that where added which made it very special to us. Thank you from Debbie & Daryll, Robert Margaret & Family

Hello John, Joy and Team, My wife Jenny and I would like to thank you all sincerely for the great service provided. From the first contact, to the very end at the cemetery, we were impressed with all the little extra’s that we noticed being done and with the way they were being done, discreetly and with no fanfare.Thanking you, Simon and Jenny Shaw.

Dear Carol, Our family would like to thank you for assisting us with the funeral arrangements for our baby Mia Grace. When we started looking for a funeral director we felt the task to be daunting. We have no idea on the process and our only resource was the internet. We also want to give the best for our baby but at the same time cost is also a concern for us. We are very happy to find Classic Funeral Services with its more affordable prices compared with others, and even became happier when you came to our house Carol. When we met you we got the feeling that our baby Mia will be taken care well and with respect. You are so efficient, so calm and compassionate and it truly gave us peace of minds. The arrangements in the chapel and the ceremony were faultless and just the way we like it. It was very solemn and very memorable for us. I would also like to thank Jarna for taking care of our baby Mia. Baby Mia looked so pretty and we were so happy to see her so peaceful on that day. Thank you Jarna. Thanks to Joe as well for assisting during the ceremony. We did not get to say thank you in person but my husband and I were very thankful to you as well. Your team at the Classic Funeral Services are great, thank you for giving us the best service. We cannot ask for more.

Kind regards, Carlos, Sonia, Victoria, Beatrice, Mia.

Hi Larry, On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you so very much for a very touching and special farewell to my Dad. Your compassion and care with what you said was greatly appreciated as well as the lovely poems you included in the service. It was exactly what Dad wanted and we can now move on knowing that he is no longer suffering and in pain.

Thank you again, Steph.

After doing some research on a number of funeral providers I chose Classic Funerals for my brothers service. I knew immediately on first point of contact with Jarna at Classic Funerals that I had made the right decision as she maintained a professional approach, was extremely sensitive to our families needs and caring every step of the way. Jarna also organized the celebrant Carol Shepherd who guided the service, Carol in her presentation provided an outstanding service.

Some of the comments from people attending were as follows:

“What a beautiful dignified funeral”

“ Sad but very well done”

“ Very professional”

“ Very well organized”

“ Beautiful memorial cards”

“ Loved the photo display”

“ Lovely memories”

“ Perfect service”

On behalf of my family I would like to say a sincere thank you to both you Jarna and Carol who have showed so much kindness, warmth and comfort to us during this very sad time.

We are ever so grateful and I would have no hesitation in recommending Classic Funerals for a high standard funeral service. Kind Regards, Jeanise Brown
