K.W. Golden Grove, July 2018

“My parents had dealt with Ivan Butler Funerals in the past and had organised to employ their services for their own farewells, when the time came. Sadly the time came.

The manager Geoff Lewis, did everything he could to make sure my father’s farewell was flawless. Though afflicted by grief, it was indeed a beautiful occasion. All the things stated in the other reviews are accurate. I was so impressed I just had to write a review & award 5 Gold Stars.

I highly recommend Ivan Butler to anyone, their service was impeccable.  Geoff did everything he could to make us feel at ease, he ensured everything behind the scenes was running smoothly.

This allowed us to focus on our own well-being, for which we were most grateful”.

Special thanks to Glenn & Dianne for their help in a difficult time.  There was simply nothing we could fault in everything they did”.
