Fiona at Classic Funerals was amazing and the whole team ensured everything went smoothly with the highest respect and professionalism that I could ask for. I would highly recommend anyone to use them for funeral services.
On the day Fiona came to me and said "You don't have to worry about anything today Ryan I have everything sorted, if you need anything let me know." Knowing this on such a difficult day was amazing and I really felt supported.
Thank you very much for a beautiful funeral.

Just a quick note to thank you all for the beautiful service that was arranged for my Nan, Shirley Briggs, a few weeks ago.
You were recommended to me through a friend that had recently attended a funeral your company had directed. I have never been involved in the organising of a funeral before so didn’t know exactly what I was supposed to do. After many conversations with others I was lead to believe I wouldn’t get any change out of about $10,000 and although we wanted to give my Nan the send-off she deserved, we just didn’t have that kind of money. I was pleasantly surprised and must admit a little sceptical once I had viewed the inclusions and prices of your packages online. Nothing was hidden and before I phoned I knew how much approximately we would be up for. Even selecting your most expensive package we were going to be spending an amount that was acceptable.
Larry came to visit us and his calming nature was beautiful. We had the feeling we were in good hands. He spoke highly of the owners and was very respectful and nothing seemed too much trouble. I must admit there was still the element of doubt in my mind that at this price, everything would run smoothly without hiccups or surprise costs somewhere. Most of the organising took place online…organising photos, music, names of family members and details of Nans life ect. Larry was always very prompt and professional even after I sent numerous emails changing things.
Eventually Nans day had arrived. It was a rainy day, and the limo driver you sent us was such a lovely man too. Escorting us all by umbrella to and from the car ensuring the little ones were properly buckled in and cared for. What a lovely gentleman!
When Larry arrived and he showed me the Order of Service booklets I was extremely happy. They were perfect! Exactly as we had asked. The service was just beautiful….better than I had imagined and I am still hearing compliments from attendees. The individual tribute flowers was such a lovely thing to do. I have never seen that before at a funeral but it was something I am so glad your company does. The casket was just so beautiful. Never would I have thought we could have something so beautiful for the amount that we paid. It was very elegant and looked so expensive. The sheath of fresh flowers were so, so pretty! Such a beautiful thing to let guests take them home after the wake. Most commented how lovely that was too. Mine lasted quite a while! Also I know it is just a little thing, but how lovely it was to have the two little candle holders that were in the service given to us. I made sure my Mum and my Aunt had one each and they both have them now by Nans photo.
For the duration of the organising and even on the day I kept waiting for something to not go as planned or some extra costs we didn’t know about but no…nothing!! EVERYTHING was above board and absolutely perfect!! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your business and have done so already to many should the occasion arise where they need your services. I am very thankful for your company’s professionalism and compassion during this very difficult time and thank everyone, Larry and all those behind the scenes, which made this task simple and hassle free for my entire family. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts xx
