From the initial contact with Allan Pearce Funerals, right through to the end of the funeral service, we had nothing but a positive experience.
Jess Lowe, who took over everything was amazing. Very caring and empathetic, listening to our wishes and offering guidance in a very professional manner. Nothing was too much trouble.
She introduced us to Kate Henville, the lovely celebrant, even arranging a meeting time with her.
The Order of Service was attended to without any fuss with help from Joniel.
The day of the service went smoothly. Once again, Jess was there to oversee everything and ensure any of our requests were met.
We were supported by the lovely Kate, who conducted a beautiful service, as if she had known mum and us, personally.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Allan Pearce Funerals to anyone in their time of grief.
Thank you.

I don't hesitate to recommend Allan Pearse Funerals. From the initial contact onwards, every interaction with different staff was personable and professional. What was most impressive was the "light touch" of care and service and observing how flexible ( according to need) this was. Care, mature sensitivity, and an attentive professionalism.
A special thankyou to Adam, the Director of Alan Pearse Funerals, who, along with the pastors of the Church from which my father was farewelled, helped make a difficult time smoother.

Adam and Jess did a wonderful job arranging the funeral for our father. Everything was perfect and went to schedule. From the moment we made preliminary contact a few months ago to making the final arrangements, they were caring, professional and understanding. For family reasons we required the service to be done at short notice after our father passed away and they were able to arrange this within four business days. Very grateful.
Best regards,
Ian & Geerie
