Living Hope Funerals provided a wonderful service in organising the funeral for my Mum. David came to our home and was very compassionate and professional in explaining the process and all that needed to be arranged.
He was very responsive during the preparations and made helpful suggestions as needed.
David’s presence at the funeral was unobtrusive but warm and welcoming and everything went very smoothly.
Cheri visited me as well and prayed for our family which was much appreciated.
It really meant a lot to deal with a Christian company who holds the same values that we do and I would highly recommend them.

We are incredibly grateful to Living Hope Funerals for the beautiful service they provided for my mother. From the very beginning, their team was compassionate, respectful and genuinely caring. They guided us through every step with kindness and professionalism, making a difficult time feel a little lighter. The service was meaningful, well-organised and truly honoured my mum’s life. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Living Hope Funerals to anyone needing thoughtful and heartfelt support.

From every experience I've had with Living Hope Funerals I have been very impressed. As a pastor I officiate semi-regularly, and on each occasion with Living Hope, I have seen their team go above and beyond to care for the grieving, and accommodate every situation that arises with warmth and humility. They are a great organisation to deal with.

We really appreciated the support, attention and advice from Mike and his team at Living Hope Funerals during the difficult time of my mum's death. He was available to answer questions, took care of the important details, informed us of process at each step, liaised with our church, and helped us in navigating. I appreciated their modular billing, willingness to flexibly adapt to our planning and Mike's support with all of our decisions. A home visit to discuss funeral planning was also greatly appreciated!!

Living Hope Funerals were very professional and caring throughout the whole time we dealt with them. Dave was very helpful and followed up on every request we had with organising my mother’s funeral. It was reassuring that Dave and Mike were experienced with the arrangements and they liased well with all concerned in the lead up to the service and also afterwards. We were very pleased with the Order of Service produced and the beautiful flowers that were organised. Thank you Living Hope for making a difficult time easier for our family and for your sincere contribution towards giving my Mum a special goodbye.

Personal Experiences

Ethan's Story

“It was a very emotional and stressful time for us…

“It was a very emotional and stressful time for us and knowing what steps needed to be taken was overwhelming.

My wife and I enlisted the services of Living Hope and we found the whole team to be sensitive, supportive and professional. We can’t thank them enough.

I spoke with other funeral services and found them impersonal and opaque. When I spoke to Mike from Living Hope, he really listened to our needs and helped us customise a service that we really wanted.

They took care of all the practicalities on the day quietly and respectfully and every attention to detail was taken. It really gave our family the opportunity to celebrate our loved one and not worry about the logistics or operations.

Thanks again for providing an excellent service during a difficult time.

James’ Story

“Over the last 20 years I’ve worked with a wide variety of funeral directors…

“Over the last 20 years I’ve worked with a wide variety of funeral directors. Some have been warm and helpful. Some stand-offish. Others too pushy.

Usually, I meet the funeral director the week, or often even the day, of the service. As a person passes away and the funeral approaches… I find myself hoping the funeral directors will be supportive and helpful. I hope the church space is respected and the faith of the bereaved family is honoured.

This year I’ve been blessed to be involved with Living Hope Funerals. I’ve worked with them and been served by them, after the passing of my mother. The Living Hope team have been available, relational and flexible. When one family requested a Sunday memorial and Monday committal service, Living Hope were happy to make it work.

I’m confident I will work with them again in the future and comforted that the ongoing relationship will ease my stress when someone passes away. Dave and the team have fulfilled my hopes.
