Jan 2026Thank You for Making a Difficult Goodbye So Gentle. From the very first moment we met Michael and his team, we knew we were in compassionate and capable hands. Saying goodbye to someone you love is unimaginably difficult, yet Michael’s calm, caring, and deeply genuine nature made the process gentle and supportive. The day of Penny’s farewell was absolutely beautiful. Every detail was handled with care, dignity, and precision, allowing our family to focus on honoring her and being present with one another. Michael anticipated our needs, eased our worries, and ensured everything flowed seamlessly, transforming what could have been a stressful day into one of comfort, love, and peace. Michael’s passion for his work, and the kindness of his staff, created a space where we felt truly cared for at every moment. For that, we are profoundly grateful. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gardenia Funerals to family and friends. The compassion, professionalism, and humanity shown by Michael and his team made a heartbreaking day unexpectedly gentle, memorable, and full of warmth. With heartfelt thanks, Michelle and John

Dec 2025From the moment i met the team at Gardenia i knew they were the right choice to organise my Mums funeral. After a very stressful morning, the team arrived and greeted my family and I with a hug. Their compassion, empathy and general care for all of us was amazing and much appreciated. We all felt they genuinely cared for us all and nothing was too much for them. They understood how we felt and were very sensitive to our feelings. I cannot recommend or thank Dom, Mitch and the team enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Jan 2026Dom, Marley and the Gardenia family are the most caring and genuine company to have alongside you at such a vulnerable time. They have truly thought of everything. Having a Catholic mass, they have documents and programs ready to make the process so much easier. Dom was there with us every step of the way. We can’t thank you enough. Thank you, Tina, Madelaine, Samuel and Jacqueline Marsolino xx

Dec 2025Mitch and the team at Gardenia Funerals made the entire process of my fathers funeral to be as stress free as possible. They were warm and professional. I would particularly like to thank Mitch for all his hard work and empathy, and Karen who answers the phones and advises on what needs to be done.
