What families say
Mandy Atherton
Jan 2026Dear Sylvan Funerals Team, I would like to express our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for everything you did for our family during the loss of our Dad. This was one of the hardest times of our lives, and the care, compassion, and support that was shown to us will never be forgotten. From the very first day I contacted Chloe, we felt a sense of calm during the chaos of grief. Her kindness, patience, and gentle guidance helped us through those first overwhelming moments and made us feel truly supported and understood. Meeting with her made such a difference to our family. We were then blessed to be cared for by the beautiful team of Helen and Leon. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine compassion brought us comfort when we needed it most. They treated Dad, and all of us, with such dignity, respect, and care, and for that we are forever grateful. Every step of the way, we felt supported, listened to, and cared for. Knowing that Dad was in such thoughtful and capable hands allowed us the space to grieve, remember, and honour him in peace. Thank you for going above and beyond during such a painful time. Your kindness has left a lasting impression on our hearts, and we will always be thankful for the care you gave our family and our Dad. With our sincerest appreciation and gratitude ❤️

Feb 2026Thank you Sylvans for looking after our brother Pete. His service was exactly what he would have wanted, relaxed and casual because thats how he was. We felt in safe hands and reassured when Nick and Leon collected Pete from home and we love that they agreed to play his favourite music as the drove back he never went for a drive without tunes

July 2025Our family are so grateful to Sylvan Funerals for helping make the funeral of our Dad so lovely. Bec was the one helping us with all the arrangements and Gaylene did the service. Everything was perfect, Dad would have been impressed! From the first meeting we knew we had selected the right company. They are so organized and gentle and we will forever be happy with the way we had our farewell to Dad. Thank You from the bottom of our hearts Sylvans.

Feb 2026Had to use Sylvan to organise a funeral recently for my brother, and I could not recommend them enough. They handled everything so professionally and the lady that helped us was fantastic! (Sorry I forgot her name)

July 2025Sylvan staff were very kind and gentle throughout the entire process, from booking to burial. Our officiant Gaylene Salomon did a beautiful job of honoring my Aunt. Helen and Gaylene were so kind and respectful which was a real blessing for our family. Thank you so very much.
