Dear Jim, Nick, Desi, Frank, Pamela and the whole team at Divine Family Funerals, a truly heartfelt thank you from me and my entire family.
When you lose a loved one, you are also lost and not sure what to do. My first words to Jim were: 'I need your help. Can you help me?' And what followed was by far the best service we have ever experienced (not that we've organised many funerals, but in general, the service was impeccable in every sense).
My father passed away following a long illness. They took care of him and us in a way we never expected.
The initial phone call was not intimidating. Simply a few details were required, and it was a Saturday afternoon, followed by a meeting on Monday afternoon. They offered to come to our home, but we went to them. Their location on William Street is a welcoming and calm space. There, Jim helped us with every single step from choosing a casket, flowers, filling out the form for NSW registry (which helped us not having to do that alone) and answered every single question we threw at him with ease. The price was stated up front and we felt it was incredibly reasonable, including all the elements of their service.
In the following days (we had the funeral on the Thursday), they organised the cemetery, church, pamphlets, announcements and the wake, once we told them our preferred locations, and all we had to do was confirm the final decisions that we wanted. We had time to be with family at home without added stress of organising the funeral.
On the day, the attention to detail and the care and respect shown to my father and to us was beyond anything we expected. Jim walked respectfully in front of the hearse up to our home and then, leading up to the church, allowing time for that final journey, never making us feel rushed. A white rose was left at our front door, and Nick left rose petals along the trail outside. It was a beautiful touch. The love and respect that went into preparing my father for his final viewing was evident, and the list goes on and on.
I didn't organise music, because I didn't have the brain capacity at the time and they asked if I'd be happy for them to play something at certain times in the service and at the burial. The choices were perfect and probably what I would've chosen myself.
They watched out for my two young children, and nothing was ever too much.
I could go on and on and on singing their praises. Our family and friends all commented on the lovely service and the incredible professionalism and special touches provided by all the Divine Family Funeral staff.
Honestly, I would recommend this family business beyond any doubt to any family looking for a respectful, caring and well organised final farewell that will truly honour their loved one.
Thank you again.

On behalf of myself and my family I would like to thank the team at Divine for treating us and taking care of us like family.

They helped organise our Dads funeral and from the moment I spoke to Desi, I knew everything would be okay. I couldn’t have asked for better support throughout the whole process. She was kind she was caring and helped us with anything we needed.

The team Pamela, Jim and Nick your kind supporting words and stories you shared with us to make us feel a little less alone on the day will not be forgotten.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

"Divine Family Funerals recently organized the funeral for my father, Michele, and I cannot express how grateful I am for their service. Jim, Desi, and the entire team walked us through every step of the process with compassion and care. They guided us in choosing the casket, selecting beautiful flowers, arranging the chapel and priest, and preparing the memorial cards and book. Every detail was handled with the utmost respect and attention, allowing our family to focus on honoring my father's memory. Their organization and dedication ensured that the service was a dignified and heartfelt tribute. We are deeply appreciative of their support and highly recommend Divine Family Funerals for their exceptional service."

The extended family and I would like to say a big thank you to Jim, Desi and the Devine Family funeral team for all their help and the excellent service they provided.

This was the first time we had to organise a burial for a close member of our family, and amongst our grief, we had no idea what we were doing.  Jim walked us through the whole process, answered all our questions and reassured us that everything will go well and smoothly.

For the attention to detail when organising the funeral logistics, the beautiful flowers, casket, Church service & Priest, Memorial cards and the care they took when preparing my mother to make her look beautiful, I cannot thank them enough.  The respect and care they also showed on the day of the funeral to our mother, the family & our guests, and the beautifully thought-out process from start to finish really impressed my father, who has not stopped talking about Divine Family Funerals and how pleased and impressed he was with the whole day.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Device Family Funerals to anyone requiring such a service.  Will look back now and have no regrets about what we could have done better on the day, as it was perfect.  You will not be disappointed with them.

Once again, thank you, Jim, Desi and the team from the Alexiou Family.

The team at Divine Family Funerals handled every aspect of the arrangements with the utmost dignity and respect. Their sensitivity to our needs and their ability to provide compassionate support was truly comforting. They guided us through each step with care, ensuring that every detail was meticulously managed and every request was honored with grace.

What truly stood out was their attention to detail. Every element of the service was thoughtfully planned and executed, reflecting the deep respect they have for both the departed and their loved ones. From the personalized touches that celebrated our loved one's life to the seamless coordination of the entire process, their professionalism and commitment to excellence were clear.

Divine Family Funerals provided not just a service, but a genuine expression of care and respect during a time of mourning. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a compassionate, dignified, and attentive funeral service. They truly made a difference in our lives, and we are deeply appreciative of their remarkable support.
