Anne helped me and my family from the first moment we spoke to her on the phone. We were so overwhelmed and did not know where to begin. Immediately after speaking with Anne she made us feel like we were not alone and that the next week was going to be somehow manageable.

Anne was also our celebrant and she did such a beautiful job.

Anne, you are such a warm and wonderful person and we are so grateful to you for helping us through this challenging time.

From the moment I made the first call to Oakdale- I felt totally supported, respected and listened to. In the hardest of times in our life we were blown away by the professionalism and personal approach from Anne and David. Anne visited our home to meet with the family prior to my brothers celebration of life- she took the time to understand us and who he was as a person and what we needed in a service. From the colour and style of the flowers- to the hot rod hearse to take my brother away- everything was covered and included. No hidden costs. Anne and David made themselves available to us any time of day or night for anything we needed. The respect shown to my brother and our entire family was just impeccable. During the service- I noticed Anne making eye contact with the coffin as she spoke- for me- the ultimate sign of respect. The venue Anne helped us choose was beautiful- and the flexibility of Oakdale to bring my brother back out of the room for a second viewing (we had a family member arrive late and wished to see my brother) Anne and David understood how important this was and allowed this to happen- no questions asked. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

In a time of pain and heartache and you don’t know where to turn Anne and David are the ones you would want. They have the heart and care to listen and understand what is important for your loved one. They made my mums day really beautiful. Through the tears and sadness I felt proud the service did such justice it was a lovely send off. God Bless you Anne and David we are so happy to have found you. Amazing professional and affordable. Will never forget.

Highly recemmended! My mother passed suddenly and we had no funeral plan in place so we looked for a small family firm local to us. We contacted Oakdale Funerals and they were amazing. From recovering my mother and looking after her until the funeral to dealing with all the administration and the funeral itself was perfect. Anne and David were friendly compassionate and highly efficient. It was thanks to Oakdale that my mother received the fitting farewell that she deserved.

The service Oakdale provided us was outstanding for many reasons. Anne took the time to really get to know my mother by spending time with me and my daughter Tarynn. This gave us a personalised service that left like it was being conducted by a member of our family.
Everything was organised seamlessly and no request was too hard. At this tough time, the service we received eased the pain and helped us focus on the farewell and not worry about the details.

Approximate cost: $7000

Anne and David were consummate professionals who went above and beyond in helping me to organise the funeral service for my Father. Both were so kind and compassionate. Anne listened to us, our stories and the memories of my Fathers life, which resulted in a truly beautiful funeral service, a celebration of his life well lived. I am for ever grateful for your help and guidance during such a difficult time.

Both Anne and David were consummate professionals, able to help us understand, and decide on the elements and duties of Mum's funeral in a way that reduced our stress and anxiety. Nothing was too much trouble, and there were a few last minute changes due to covid and our relatives they were able to accommodate without fuss.

Anne and David came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Not only were they highly professional, but the care and compassion given made the journey as smooth and easy as possible.

As soon as I met Anne I felt at ease, both she and David, her husband, provided guidance in all aspects of our fathers funeral during Victoria's latest lock down of COVID in September 2021. I highly recommend Oakdale Funerals.

In a very difficult and stressful time, Anne was wonderful in helping to provide a wonderful funeral for our Mum. Both Anne and David's professionalism along with their deep caring made the whole process easy and nothing was too much trouble.
We are extremely grateful and have said to Anne that although we have known her for only a short while, it feels a lot longer.
Forever grateful.
