Irish & Denman made a very daunting task easy to understand and helped us make the right decisions for Dad’s funeral. They were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. ... Ross and Jude were able to answer any questions we had and to make suggestions when we needed advice. This was the first funeral my brother and I had to arrange so their input was invaluable and very much appreciated. more

    Mum and Dad both passed in about a year of each other. Irish and Denman looked after us and guided us through the process of saying goodbye to them both from cremation to internment.

Excellent service throughout, thank you.
