Sensible Funerals - Funeral Director in Ridleyton

We wish to express our sincere thanks for your help and efforts after the death of our father. Your backing and advice helped us as a family make the day of Dad’s funeral a celebration of a life well lived and well loved. Sadness at our loss but thanks for the many years we shared, lived and laughed were prominent in our thoughts. Thanks again.

I would highly recommend the family owned and run - Sensible Funerals. Shanti and Tim were very personal and professional to deal with. Every detail was taken care of meticulously and my mum had her perfect send off. A nicer couple you will not meet who are in the business because they genuinely care. Thank you again Shanti, Tim and Madeline

On behalf of the Dwiar family, I wish to express our thanks for a wonderful service for Dad. There were a number of comments made to several of us that it was a most dignified and enjoyable experience under the circumstances. Once again my personal thanks for the courteous and friendly manner in which you conducted all the arrangements.

When you lose someone you have to make some decisions at a time that your feelings are raw and you could be very vulnerable. Sensible Funerals staff guided us through the process with the minimum of stress. They are NOT in the ripoff business. They have an eco-friendly system that uses a re-usable ‘over casket’ which is what you see and is as flash as any – and it has a basic coffin inside which is not seen and goes to the cremation. Very sensible and cost effective! The Service is held in their facility on South Road and was beautiful. You can have whatever you like re music, a video and flowers. Beautiful. You can check their website for exact costs and options. An excellent, sensitive service. Love this company.

I just wanted to say thank you for your care, compassion and understanding at Craig’s funeral on 22nd March. The whole service was exactly what I had hoped it would be. It was actually a very important process for me, to ensure that the best of the man that I knew for so long was celebrated in a way in keeping with his very individual spirit. The way you ran the service, the words you chose and your whole approach was as if you knew and understood Craig, and had a sense of the person that he was. That was a wonderful feeling, and contributed to the emotions everyone felt on the day, I think. Your opening words to the (very non-secular) reading I chose were just perfect and guaranteed that no one of faith would feel offended. I know I had been overly organised in putting together the service, eulogies, music etc. It was only when you started to read the committal that I realised we hadn’t discussed the exact text of what you normally say, beforehand! There was absolutely no need for me to worry, however, as you spoke beautifully in a way that exactly captured the type of simple, secular, farewell I would have chosen for Craig. Thank you. I feel really lucky that I chose Sensible Funerals as every step of the process was not only easy, practical but also so supportive to create a celebration that was really “Craig”.

Your company recently handled the cremation for me of my late mother Elizabeth. Well this email is to say THANK YOU to yourself and your staff for the EXCELLENT CARE, dignity and respect, shown to myself and family at our sad time. The professionalism at Sensible Funerals is absolute. I have no difficulties in recommending your company at any time to anyone. One of the things that impressed me so much was that your company was almost $4000 cheaper than that of another funeral home (and that was for exactly what your company provided for my family). Your company handled my mother’s funeral with dignity, respect and professionalism.
