What families say
Rosemary Fraser
Feb 2026Thanks to Julie's compassion and expertise, we were able to give my mother the kind of funeral service and cremation that she would have wanted. Julie was able to guide us through the process with patience and understanding and was willing to find ways of enabling us to deliver the kind of personal service that we were able to achieve. Julie explained the costing behind the various options available to us enabling us to make choices that suited us, and we appreciated this transparency.

Aug 2025Hi. SIMPLY THE BEST Recently my mum passed away in Wagga . Julie helped me to get her to Sydney then Northern Suburbs Crematorium , where all our family go . This sounds pretty simply but I actually live in Snowy Mountains so it was all done over phone and email. Which im no good at. So not only did Julie organise mum she walked me thru all the paperwork emails ever. I couldn’t recommend anyone better than Julie. She can bring your loved one home Marry your loved ones Names your loved ones babies And even Renew your loved ones vows. No matter where you are in Sydney. Julie is a legend to me. Simply.

Jan 2026Julie helped my family with my father’s funeral services recently. As a Tibetan Buddhist family using funeral services for the first time in Sydney, we deeply appreciated her care, empathy and respect for our culture. She ensured that we were able to honour our father in accordance with our traditions and navigate a very sad and difficult time with ease. From the very first phone call, we knew we were in safe hands. Thanks, Julie.

Jan 2026Julie from Bushland Shire Funerals organised my late husbands cremation, she made my life so easy, I just made a phone call, and Julie visited my home with all the information, she made things so easy for me especially with it being days away from Christmas. Julie is a delight to work with, she is so caring I highly recommend her and it's lovely to have somebody local.
