Candlepines Undertakers of Distinction

Thank you to Bronwyn , Phillip & team at Candlepines for the professional support & care shown on the recent passing of my beloved Father. Compassion & sensitivity was given with all aspects in arrangements. Any questions & inquiries we had were promptly responded to. The service on the day went smoothly , from assistance for us to set up the chapel of repose at Altona Memorial Park , the digital photo display & live streaming. We felt comforted at this time of grieving. With this support we were able to give our Dad , a beautiful send off with personal ,loving tributes. My Mother was thankful for the kindness & professional care at this sad time. Our appreciation & recommendation of Candlepines Suzanne Kelly
