What families say
Amelia Grace
Jan 2026Mark was the Funeral Director for my dear mother’s funeral service. In a very limited timeframe, Mark and his team organised everything with professionalism, care, and compassion, always maintaining my mum’s dignity and respect. Mark communicated clearly and efficiently with our family and took care of all the details, which was a great comfort during such a difficult time. I truly appreciate the support from Mark and his team and highly recommend their services.

Aug 2025Mark the Director of Blackwell Funerals and his staff at Glenside were outstanding in the preparation of my dear mum’s funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail was appreciated. On the day of the funeral everything went smoothly despite some inclement weather. Mark and his team made the day easier to cope during our time of mourning and grief. Thank you for all your hard work. Silvana

Apr 2025Incredible professional service. My father passed recently and we had minimal time to organize a funeral for him. We contacted Blackwell Funeral Homes Glenside the night of. From that moment on everything fell into place. We were Greeted by Rachel, the director, and words could not describe how amazing she was in with accommodating our situation. She kept us up to date each day, she supported us throughout the tough time and decisions. Rachel also introduced us to our Celebrant Kate Villano, who was incredible! Both made the day so perfect. Could not fault this business. Thank you from all our family.

Feb 2025I’m writing this review so that others don’t have to go through the horrible experience that we went through with this funeral service. At the church reception, a staff member from Blackwell Funeral Glenside hurried us along shouting that the deceased “is patiently waiting outside” in the hearse to rush us to the cemetery. This was not funny and was incredibly insensitive. We weren’t given ample time to consume the overpriced sandwiches, with stale bread and off avocado. This funeral service made a tough time even worse.

May 2023After a personal recommendation and meeting with Carol from Blackwell Funerals, it was a straightforward, compassionate process in organising my father’s funeral. The organisation and the services provided by Carol was outstanding. The facilities at Glenside were beautiful. The recommended celebrant, Sharon, was the perfect choice - warm, engaging, and thoughtful. My family and I could not have asked for a better send off for Dad. A sincere thanks to Carol, Sharon and the entire team at Blackwell Funerals Glenside.
