The funeral for my wife, Anna was beautiful and a lovely tribute. David and Anne handled it with warmth and sensitivity and skillfully managed the large gathering of mourners. Thank you.

From the moment I met Anne from Oakdale Funerals, I knew we were in good hands. She has such a personable nature and it put me and my brother-in-law and niece at ease at such a difficult time. Anne took the time to learn about my sister who had a long battle with breast cancer, as well as getting to know the family. None of us really had to worry about a thing as Anne and David took care of all the arrangements, while being such a support. And even though our family made our own personal touches, having Anne as the organiser and celebrant added to the day. I even had one person say to me after the funeral, that as far as funerals go, it was the most beautiful she had ever been to. Thank you Anne and David for your guidance and sensitivity, and for making such a sad day so beautiful.

We recently lost our son unexpectedly and Anne and David of Oakdale Funerals assisted us in our time of grief to provide the best celebration of his life imaginable. Having used other funeral services in the past, I can truly say that Oakdale offered the most sensitive, supportive and personalised service I have ever experienced. Anne and David took the time to get to know our family and provided guidance every step of the way. They kept us informed and nothing was too much trouble. We are extremely grateful to them for identifying the best venue to celebrate his vibrant life and for managing such a large congregation of mourners so effortlessly.
Forever grateful. R&M, Chirnside Park

Oakdale Funerals are one of the most personally yet professionally run services I've encountered in the funeral industry. Anne and David are warm, sincere and understanding when it comes to dealing with families at a most sensitive time.
Highly recommended them.

It was such a difficult, distressing and extremely emotional time when our father recently passed. We had no idea what to however Anne and David from Oakdale funerals were absolutely fantastic. I can't thank or praise them highly enough for the wonderful and sincere support of our family and also the loving but expert and professional management of the funeral and all associated arrangements. They took care of as much or as little as the family wanted were easily accessible and extremely patient! The service was beautiful as was their loving and sensitive care of Dad after he passed. I highly recommend Oakdale funerals and cant thank Annie and David enough for managing such a difficult time in our lives with such loving and sensitive, professional care.

Thankyou Anne for your role in our father's funeral. Your professional and personal manner was caring, thoughtful and supportive, and shone through the emotions and challenges at such a traumatic time. The funeral ran smoothly and your words captured his personality, spirit and interests. We were so pleased with your guidance through the stages of music, tribute, memories and reflection. Many of our family and friends commented on the meaningful, warm and heartfelt service. We will always be thankful for asking you to be with us through such a difficult time. Penne & Peter

Anne of Oakdale Funerals recently handled my husband's Celebration of Life with such sensitivity, care and consultation between all the family members, the weight of grief and sadness was temporarily lifted and we shared a truly wonderful and memorable day. Nothing was too much trouble for her and all the details just seemed to happen without fuss. I was especially grateful for her guidance as this area of life is not one we always understand and, during such a painful, sad period, we are not able to think straight. Therefore, I highly recommend Anne and David to assist you in making the right choices during these stressful times.

I truly do recommend Anne and Oakdale Funerals.
Three years ago I lost my Dad. It was the hardest time of my life - the pain, regret, joy, gratitude and so much more.
So many emotions and we had very little idea of how things work, or what had to be done.
We found Anne as a celebrant back then. She was warm and understanding and she made the whole process...comfortable.
She quickly assessed my family and put together a service which honored Dad with respect, humor, laughter, tears and a collection of great memories.
I am incredibly grateful to Anne for all she did - My Grandmother still talks about Anne every time we talk about Dad or the anniversary of his passing - that is the effect she had on the day and again, I am truly grateful.
