What families say
Luca Spina
Mar 2025We used the last hurrah funeral services and myself and my family are beyond happy with the services they provided for us. The directors who we worked with, Ash and Mon in particular, were incredibly welcoming and generous. The service they arranged for the funeral was curated perfectly to what our late loved one would’ve wanted, and too what we wanted. The teams organisation of the burial, place of the service and even down to the flowers, made an easy process for us, especially during such a difficult time. Mon’s speech during the service, encapsulated the warmth and joy of our late loved one, although they had never met.

Nov 2025The Last Hurrah were the most helpful and brilliant people during our difficult time of grief. As a family we lost someone suddenly, and whilst we were mired in sadness and confusion, Ash, Stass + Sass were very patient, informing and supportive towards the most fitting funeral. They reflected all the elements of our wishes and the person who passed. Many funeral attendees (during and afterwards) commented on how well done the service was, and we're deeply grateful to the Last Hurrah team. They're the best people to never know you need, until you do.

Oct 2025We recently lost our dear father Bill on 26/9/25 From the get go Kimba, Mon and the team supported my whole family Our celebrant Mon has very deep listening skills and made sure our service for dad was exactly what we wanted Mon made everything so clear and guided us step by step through so many processes On the day Mon wore something tartan for our dear dads scottish roots which I thought was very kind and honoured our dad. Mon gave all of us time on the day ensuring we were all coping . I thoroughly recommend the The Last Hurrah I really dont know how we would have coped without their compassion and knowledge of the industry. Thank you from The Forresters

Dec 2025Ash and the team were unbelievably kind, gracious, patient, professional and welcoming to the different wants and needs from our family. My grandmother was treated with the utmost dignity and care, and the vigil, service, and burial all went off without a hitch. Thanks to Last Hurrah, we were able to mourn, celebrate, laugh, and love throughout this trying time without added stressors. If your loved one has passed on, please contact Last Hurrah. You'll be in safe hands.

Nov 2025Very grateful to The Last Hurrah and can't recommend them highly enough. Kimba and the team provided gentle, compassionate guidance and support when my father died. They really followed our lead but also anticipated our needs. Ophelia was open-minded and creative in helping us think through how to honour Dad's very specific wishes for his ashes. Thank you so much.
