I can not put into words what an amazing send off we had for my mom, 4 weeks later I am still overwhelmed by how well the day went and the amount of compliments received.

I recently used Brian & Waldron for my Dad’s Funeral , and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was outstanding.

I was the celebrant and family contact for a dear friend and had great support from Joe throughout. We wanted to do the funeral and memorial as one event, with a lot of participation from Mary's community. This involved liaison with the crematorium which Joe handled very well and on the day he and Joshua provided a very supportive and flexible service to us. Thank you so much Joe!
